[QUOTE="negllic, post: 194, member: 53"] Hi, I already built my own Pool controler based on raspberry PI. .NET software with a responsive web page to control anything from a smartphone, a tablet or a PC. Got also alerts by email. But most interesting design I made is an nice algorithme (nowadays I should say "AI" ;)) that adjust every hour the filtration time depending of the actual temperature of the water (controlled with a simple DS18B20 sensor inside the pipe). [ATTACH type="full" width="550px"]24[/ATTACH] There are already a lot of ideas here, let me just add 3 points : [LIST=1] [*]Device needs digital inputs to monitor the circuit breakers (circuit breakers have an NO/NC automation contact). Because if a circuit breaker blows up, your software in the raspberry will think driving the pump whereas nothing runs. [*]Be careful in relay choice. A simple relay won't be good to drive a pump as there are some overcurrent will stopping the pump. You need a contactor, which is a relay with special design to clean the contact at each start/stop. Solid state relay is a good choice also, be there are some thermal design to consider [*]You need a human machine interface inside the machinery room for driving the pumps : maintenance, filter backwash, etc.... For my system, I add a small HDMI touch screen 3.5'' [/LIST] Otherwise, 1wire for temperature, 0-10V for chemistry, etc... All the other ideas here are good. [/QUOTE]
