Next level barn fans hack!

You will need WiFi access where you do this. Supplies needed:
Amazon smart plug, https://amzn.to/3ShNDQP
Amazon echo newest edition https://amzn.to/3LvcFZ1
Walmart sealed motor fan https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-Tough-New-20-inch-High-Velocity-Sealed-Motor-Drum-Fan-with-Wall-Mount/334273417

Put echo in chicken area protected from rain. Newest version has temperature gauge in it.

Plug fan into smart plug.

In Alexa app make a routine to turn on smart plug when echo temperature sensor Above 85.

Make another Alexa routine to turn off smart plug when echo temperature sensor is below 84.

Leave fans on at desired speed. I leave mine on medium.

Now the fans always turn on/off based on temperature. You could also do this with lights/etc based on time or other variables. I could even set up some annoying song to play at sunrise in barn to get rooster revenge. 😂

We would like to take time and pray for the safety of all who are traveling to and attending State FFA Convention in Houston. We are also praying for a hedge of protection to be placed over all the surrounding areas impacted by hurricane Beryl. We hope the storms will pass and the 2024 Texas FFA convention will be a success! 💙💛

Someone passed this onto us and we thought it was a great idea to share.
With the 4th of July right around the corner we tend to get several calls about dogs getting out, and owners frantically trying to find them. We ask that you make sure your dogs have their collars on, updated contact information on their licenses, or do something similar to the picture below !

We love our community fur babies and want to make sure they are safe! 🐾💕

⭐️Shoppers some things to know⭐️

🚨DO NOT BRING YOUR DOGS, yes we love ours too, but livestock and fowl at the event do not know your dog and even if they are a well behaved pooch, they are still a predator in the eyes of these prey animals.
YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. So leave them at home.
🚨Do Not bring animals to the event unless you are a vendor. No swaps, drops, or selling under a vendor. We will send the TAHC after you and remove you from the property.
*Bring your wagons and crates, cat carriers or other critter transportation.
*We will have an ATM on site.
*Food trucks will be on site.

🚨PETTING ZOO is Free & unlimited pets because of our great sponsors Ice Monkeys Snowcones & Zamora Lawn Care & More LLC.
Please Support them when you can!
🚨RECORD who you buy livestock from, every event we have people ask who this person in a blue shirt was….you are responsible for your purchases and keeping track of said purchases. Just snap a picture of the booth, booth number, receipt or get a business card. If you need to follow up reach out to the Vendor.
🚨QUARANTINE, separate your new flock members from your existing flock for a minimum of 30 days, and not right on the other side of the fence. Have a quarantine pen set up on the opposite side of your property.
🚨This is a family friendly event, we intend to keep it that way. This event is held on private property, even though it is open to the public, we reserve the right to have anyone removed from the event grounds with a criminal trespassing charge.

We hope everyone has a great time!
We sure plan on it!
