I've been working on a home-brew aquarium automation system for my 120 gal freshwater planted tank for about 2 years now, which is based on a raspberry pi and uses a touchscreen for control. Last summer, while needing more switched outlets, I discovered the reef-pi power controller build instructions on adafruit. I recently built a dosing controller based on the adafruit guide, and so far that's working great. Since reef-pi seems to be a superset of the capability I already have, I'm considering going the rest of the way.
First, I'm not sure if my sump depth sensing system is compatible. I use a bubbler to keep electronics away from water, and that involves an mpl3115a2 ambient pressure sensor and mrpls total pressure sensor. This has proven itself to be very rugged and accurate, so I'd like to keep it.
Second, I'm wondering if data from multiple networked pi's can be combined onto a single dashboard? I see options for MQTT in the settings, but I don't have a spare pi to experiment with.
Thanks
