Wait, why are you sitting between the boiler and hot water tank?
Are you that one mutant from the goonies? -
@Wisecrack no, good sir. xD
live debugging session of the main heating system of the house, that runs on a rpi3b.
hotfixes included - no pun intended. -
rootofskynet40156d@Wisecrack never got back to you on that one. shame on me. :'D
after some high voltage fun that involved some lightning, it now runs on a 3b+.
it's composed of some python3 scripts, that manage..
* primary inflow temp of the system (that goes through the house)
* hot water storage management (mentioned buffer tanks)
* a working gui of cause
* does the pump and valve magic via a waveshare 8ch relay board
now add a redis for temp values, requested gpios (for valves/pumps), running modes n stuff, so that i don't need any os. calls in my code (performance! nice!).
every process runs as it's own systemd unit.
and on top of that is the recent addition to my little dungeon: a arduino uno r4 wifi, that collects the values of the ds18b20 sensors, hosts it's own little webserver, where the values are published.
the pi connects to the server and gets all sensors, validates the input before writing things into redis, and the magic does it's trick. :D -
Wisecrack948154d@rootofskynet you should write a hackernews post on what you did.
This sounds like a fun project. Wish I had the resources to do shit like that!

In the basement, between the hot water buffer tank and the boiler.
Cozy temperature.
Not.
