A few questions before I click the buy button
#4
Oh I almost forgot this sensor, I have some of these and they seem to be a nice option and works good on thick glass, maybe not for your setup but good option for ATO.

I think we can probably figure out the jecod that you have, the controller looks very similar to the WP series wave makers they have which I have connected to the LED channels on the controller.

You should be able to run those things but you might need an external power supply where the pumps are. If the pumps are really large it should be ok directly off the controller. Float switches will be no problem.

As for the power bar it communicates with the controller using I2C bus, this has limits on cable length. The extender you linked wouldn't work, it needs to be for I2C. The controller has a buffer on board which is rated to 18m but I say 14m however multiple can be connected inline so you could extend past 20m. Just need a buffer every 10-14 meters. I do have these and physically they are about the same size as you linked however what I have uses USB cables instead of RJ45. I think for your setup you would need 2 of these, with a kit I can do $15 each in a 3D printed case.
