Thanks for the check in, @Janci! The project has sat untouched while I have been transitioning into my new role at work, but starting to have some mental space for this build! Also visited the Osaka Aquarium in Japan this summer which refired my interest in having a small piece of the ocean in my life.@MaddyP , how is the concept going?
Love what you are doing here ;Bookworm
I completely agree, if PID control could be implemented it would be a game changer in aquarium flow/plumbing.Wow, impressive to say the least. To have pid control over a valve would be great for level sensors and overflow drains. I’m so tired of adjusting my Red Sea overflow drain every day. It would be nice to have level sensors trigger control modifications to the valve position automatically
Thank you! I looked into some of the sleek overflow option and even purchased a few but they weren't sleek enough for me. This is much more complicated, but building it is half the fun.Following, got to love builds out of the box with all the bells and whistles while still DIY.
I don't like the looks of equipment un the display either, i'm building my frag tank that needs to be as pretty as my display, bought the TLF overflow box (In out) that will be very low profile and not an eye sore. Plus: i'm overkilling the return pump capacity to take advantage of one of the overflow perks which is a pulsing effect, i might not need a powerhead or a wavemaker un tje display if this works the way i expect it to do.
Check out the IN OUT Xaqua, it might work for your setup!

Absolutely!Hey I am trying to get my EZO stamps to read in node-red instead of python on the R Pi. Were you able to get a read from the i2c inside node-red? If so can you share the flow/code?
It took some manipulation of the code to get it working. I used the "daemon" node to run python python at an interval.
node-red-node-daemon
A Node-RED node that runs and monitors a long running system command.

And here are the python files I used for the different Ezo boards.
