Some of the longer-term members here may remember when I started putting together a control system. Lots of folks here have helped in one way or another. Development has been on a hiatus for a couple of years, but I've started playing with the code again. I'm gradually migrating from the original controller (still running - see photo below) to a new Version II controller. One of the fun pieces of code is the real-time control panel - screenshot below. I've migrated most of the monitoring to the new unit, though you might notice that the top floor and DHW are not connected to real data yet.
Half the reason for heating with wood is having an excuse to tinker.
Lots more work to do, but it's good being back in the saddle.
