Hey Rob, it looks awesome! I honestly can't wait to get my hands on it. When do you think you'll have a launch date? Also, will your system be able to send out notifications?
Below is jus the going on a tangent about what I'm looking forward to testing!
As I said in another post one one of my main things I'm looking forward to is macros. My tank is an AIO so I don't have a sump underneath. The challenged I faced was that I wanted one hose for everything running to the tank vs having lines for dosing, AWC, ATO. Right now I have a DIY container that is 3 chambers - Waste Water, Fresh water, and Saltwater. On top of that I have my solenoid valve controllers that are - External valve (I carry up 5 gallon buckets and hate dumping them in so I put quick connect hoses), Valve to the tank, Valve over salt, fresh, and waste, and a dosing valve. 1 high peristaltic pump controls it all. I also have flat switches in each chamber to alert me if they are empty or full.
Currently, with Reefpi I can't get any of that to work unless I manually hit "run" on the macro. What I'm looking forward to, and I understand I for whatever reason your thing can't do that right away, is let's say 10am my ATO sensor checks status. Decides it needs to fill up....the Freshwater valve opens, the tank valve opens, Pump kicks on, Water is added until full, sensor shuts off (and ATO ability) until I set a time for it to check again.
