So first I'd like to state that I have some electronics experience but have never designed anything beyond a basic circuit before. My plan is to run a primary controller box with built in power supply and 8 controllable outlets. This will include an ATO function with 2 float valves, 2 temperature sensors. The float valves and temp sensors will plug into smaller junction boxes I am going to create so that I can better manage space within the primary control box and allow for quick change should one fail. Essentially I'm going to build the circuit within the primary and then use aviation connectors to run wiring to the junction boxes which will house any application specific boards and mini XLR ports for the individual sensors. I've created a shopping list of parts on amazon and would love any input from people who have experience in this to look over my part selections and perhaps make recommendations to improve on the build.
Here is a link to the parts list http://a.co/1rxciSk
Also I created a diagram of what I envision the setup looking like once complete, it's just a rough idea of how the junction boxes will be setup in relation to the primary control box.
