Hi Dan,
Good point about the users. I will make the docs easy enough that almost anyone can setup the system. In fact this is, next to my own wishes, also the reason why I thought about this type of module and plugin. For non electronic tinkerers as you call them (us) the shift register setup on a breadboard is too complex and very difficult to create a reliable system.
Next to the users you mention, I was thinking of (home) greenhouses where the stations can not only drive water valves but also periodically add nutrition's or other fluids. For our house I want to (almost individually) water the inhouse plants with very small valves and tubes. So having many stations would be very helpful as well. Multiple masters would also be necessary but that's another topic... along with a lot of other ideas.
