So I told @Ranjib and @Diamond1 that I would start a thread when I started building things. So here it is!
I am still waiting on the actual Raspberry Pi to get here but I figured while I was waiting I could start building the power box. The box is of course unfinished. The top still needs a couple hinges and the whole thing needs painted. I built the box large so if I ever want to I can add 8 more outlets.
I am going to wire the outlets up an then pause till the PI gets here. Hopefully tomorrow but tues at the latest.
I am planning on having power obviously, Temp, PH, ATO, powerhead controllers, eventually lighting control and dosing as well. I figure if it can support it then imma do it.
Maybe along the way I will learn enough to be able to help add features that are not available currently.
