Is it locking up with just the single sensor or only the error? Errors can happen if reef-pi looks for a sensor ID that happens to not be seen on the bus for whatever reason, shouldn't lock up though.
I forgot to ask if you unplug the sensor/s and plug back in after 10 seconds does it start working again or do you need to cut power to controller?
If it's locking with only the transistor directly in the screw terminal connector it seems like noise could be the culprit. Obviously not ideal but if you unplug everything from the controller except the temp sensor what happens?
Yeah if you have the controller running things it would be difficult to run the other program as it's not ready to control everything, I just would love to see the results but it's ok. The program is an app I'm working on for controller, it's getting closer to ready but still some to go. If it's loaded on another SD card you could swap cards and having things running with reef-pi again. It installs without much trouble.
What's the status of the pH now? I don't know if I've seen that error, the errors I've had in the past are I2C related and say so in the error. This seems to be saying it can't find the driver id 1 so I'm thinking it's a database issue.
If pH isn't working type the following command in the Pi SSH terminal window. It should print a list of addresses, 40, 70 and 63.
i2cdetect -y 1
