Hi !! Well I am a newbie, and have to say their is quite a vast amount of great information thru this board and glad to see so many people using it.
In any case, I am somewhat new to HA, but am in the middle of a compelte remodel, and have invested a great amount of time and $$ into building the ultimate HA system for my home.
Currently have HAI OMNI PRO II, Cortexa, Nuvo Grand Concerto, and a load of UPB devices for the home.
I will be purchase HS 2.x today as well. With the vast amoutn of support of devices and development, this will make the HA experience much more fun.
Anyway to what I need, and would like some "best directions" to take. I am installing a massive master shower suite, and among other things in the shower is a KOHLER 10 Jet Waterfall Body spray system. The system works by filling a reservoir (mini pool) below the shower baseboard (6ft x 5ft x 1ft) - about 110 gallans or so. Once filled the unit begins to recycle water (heating it as well) thru the waterfall and 10 body sprays.
Now the issue here is, the water is filled BELOW the shower floor decking. So the optimum scenario would be (all of these ideas gained from reading many many posts on here last night):
An AAG LCD Display panel (3 buttons) on it, which would act as the ON/OFF (2 Inputs) switches for the water.
Using 3/4" valves for hot and cold (NC), pressing ON, would open the valves until (a) OFF button was pressed, or:
the Homeseer displaying on the LCD the FILL DEPTH of the tub in a bar graph form. Using the http://www.flowline.com/echopod/home.lasso
device I could use that to measure the depth. At a set specific level the Homeseer could shut off the water flow using the valves.
Upon the Homeseer AUTO shutting off the water flow, it could use the 3rd I/O on the LCD to act as a relay to a buzzer of some sort.
The flowline also has emergency/overflow protection which could trigger possibly primary NO open valves to close, in case the HOMESEER was not operating or there was some sort of network communication problem, to a closed position, closing down the water.
Basically an auto fill/off scenario for a mini pool under my shower, with an LED Display the tub fill level.
All of this seems quite possible to do, and am hoping to enlist some ideas, help (even pay someone to help in the proper design of this).
Look forward to hearing back from folks, and if this is in the wrong section/group, i definitely apologize, just point me to the right section.
