Hey, guys, sorry for my por english, but I am not a native speeker. But I just Got to HA and it was a hell of a journey, but I got here. Thankfully, because this is amazing!!!
I just got to HA, to do better automations for my reptiles, like keeping track of humidity and temperature, but since I started this journey I’ve gott amazed with this universe.
And now I need your help to know what else can I do for my animals.
I live in Brazil, so I don’t have the same resources as most of you, so I need you to help me improvise some stuff. And have in mind I am no IT/programmer I am a healthcare professional, that also is a herplover (please don’t use abreviation, slang or dificult’s term’s; I’m doing my homework, I am doing a HA brazilian course and starting studing eletric, so I can build my own stuff)
Thanks, love y’all and COME TO BRAZIL!!!

Since I just started in HA 2 week ago and don’t know what else I can do with it.
For know I only have a timer to the main terrarium light and a sensor to keep track of the humidity and temperature.
The only automation was to turn on/off and to turn the light red (reptiles cant see this spectrum, so you can see them in the night, but they cant see you) between 19~6h.
And the only customization was too add some butons turn on/off light, gauge for humidity and temperatur and graphics to keep track of the past temperature and humidity.
I have seen in the internet mistyng system, heating systeam, but dont even know hao to start doing that. And since people are building you own stuff I want too know what automation y’all are dooing to keep better track and gibe better care to yours animals.
Welcome! 
You’ve probably found it already, but there’s a Brazilian Home Assistant group:
