I'm working on creating some farming and aquaponics code for the Raspberry Pi using C# and the Win 10 IoT core. I was wondering if anyone else out there is doing anything similar. I intend to have an Azure based back end for analysis. I see a lot of weather station projects and a few things using sprinkler controller systems. I'm mostly interested in looking for different monitoring hardware that would go well with the Raspberry Pi 3.

These sound like great projects Daniel, but this is likely not the best place to discuss them. StackExchange sites are uniformly focused on answerable questions, rather than open-ended discussion. The help centre has guidance on what you can ask, what you can't ask, and how to write a good question for the site. For a less constructed format, I'd recommend trying the raspberrypi.org forums. – goobering Jul 17 '16 at 17:40

I have the exact same project, did you manage to progress on this ? Happy to collaborate, am an experienced C# developer. Best, Fred – Fred Plain Jan 31 '20 at 13:37
I am going with this part of the question as it seems to be the most answerable:

Have a good look at adafruit both the shop (disclaimer: no affiliation) as well the extensive guides section. They (and other vendors of course) offer a wide variety of HATs to interface input/output devices and an huge amount of different sensor to interface to. I think it's best to get a feeling what is available first and what can be done with it to work out the specifics of what you need.

Go and look at all the projects available at the Microsoft IoT developers section for Raspberry Pi
