Thanks Dan.
> Could you provide a bit more information about your system such as the type of sensor you use to check the cistern level (switch or continuous levell sensor).
In the cistern I have a number of float switches. I have a simple REST interface to request the current water level (and in this case I only care about "empty").
>Do you have a sensor of some sort on the city water side such as a pressure sensor?
On the city side I have a valve and and a flow sensor. Again, simple REST interface to check the status of the valve and water flow.
> How many stations are you running?
I am running 15 stations.
>SIP has a signaling system that can be used to run code when a station is on.
Yes, I've seen the signals in the sample plugins and when running sip.py manually. I see the plugins with a "while True" loop/sleep. Is that a reasonable way to implement? I'm just a bit confused about having my loop only run if a zone is active.
I am familiar with Python though not a sw developer by any stretch.
THANKS!
