Terry, to be honest the description of the requirement suggests the Pi is overkill (IMHO), in my "intelligent" pump controller project I completed when my house was being assailed by flood wher I started with this approach but ended up with a v.cheap arduino board. The code being in on-board flash. Opps that takes me off-topic for a Linux group :-) Best regards, Simon -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-02-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
