My take on measuring how much water remains in the tank

It makes for some pretty clean wiring (even shielded if you need)

Yeah I saw those, very clean. I'd have loved to just have ran ethernet like that. Very slick.

I just used 4-conductor 18 gauge (two leads for light, two for signal). Goes into a DIN mount screw terminal. Similar to the ones on your breadboard, that's also very slick. Gotta get me one of those...



The whole automation panel takes up lots of space. Relays for control tap from a fuse-per-string of lights, ended up needing three fuse blocks to support them all.


Current UI leaves a lot to be desired, I'm getting my logging together right now, then I'll focus on that a bit. The MPPT data got a liiiiiittle too big (~36GB) after a couple months of gathering for the technology I chose, so I have to use a beefier database.


Yeah, your top down view is pretty close to what I'm going for. Maybe with a C-frame or L-frame around it for other stuff.


OP, I'm going to copy some of your interrupt code I think. And some of the bits for doing the flow rate calculations.

Is that Yeeco bluetooth amplifier the heart of your audio setup?

Yeah, I guess you could say so. Its 12V so direct wireable, it does a decent job, plan was to replace it with an S.M.S.L AD18, but I have and use both for different purposes.


The Yeeco pumps out lofi tunes during work and the S.M.S.L is used for PS4/Movie night/Home Theatre, etc.

What I'm envisioning is having a pushbutton near the head of my bed that could control all the lights, such that my lazy ass wouldn't have to get up to do anything. Next up would be to automatically turn on a coffee maker, a lot of guys actually use the same flowmeter I used to do that by filling up the maker reservoir with the exact amount of water they want. Add in some bean grinding and filter functionality, and an auto coffee maker would be so dope!
