    My current project includes a outdoor fishtank and the ability to regulate the temperature in the tank by filling it up with new water. Need support for waterflow meter and water valve for example.

    Water valve shouldn't be a problem, it's basically on/off? Then you could just assign it as a binary switch and give it a nicer widget icon in HomeGenie.

    For the water flow meter, could you give me an example of what you have made, and how you would like to see it work within HomeGenie. (comparison to the Domoticz solution would be a good help too)

    What would you like to see here? My sketch for the water flow meter? I can find some image and try to explain how I would like to see it work, to be flexible and usable for others too.

      @raptorjr Ah yes, I wasn't very clear there. What I meant is an example of how you are using the sensor, if I have understood correctly, you are doing the following:

      • Measure water temp, if too high (or low) then activate the water valve.
      • Keep water valve open until the desired temperature has been reached.

      But how the water flow sensor fits into this I'm not sure. Is it to make sure the water valve has been closed? Or to give an estimate of how long it will take? something else?

        Yes. The waterflow will be used to make sure that the valve is open and more important is closed when I want it to be. Otherwise notify me. Also a little interesting to see stats on how much water is added.

            Thanks to the help of @raptorjr HomeGenie will also have support for the Ethernet Gateway. :+1:

              There's some buzz here.

              It seems that there is some support for MySensors 2.0 in HomeGenie now. Would it be possible to get HomeGenie added to the list of supported controllers?

              Not that I'm that experienced in controllers, but I have tried a few and this one really got me excited. I think it is a good candidate on the list.

                Yes, absolutely.

                I would need some information like short background, features, logo and a few screenshots.

                Nice if someone fills out the Controller Matrix for HomeGenie so @AWI can add it to the main controller page.

                  I just found HomeGenie a few days ago, but since I already like it I will do what I can to help. If @mvdarend has the time maybe he can take a look at the Controller Matrix. He has much more knowledge of what HomeGenie can do.

                  EDIT: I see now that HomeGenie is already a part of the ControllerMatrix, but no link and information in the list. Will see what I can dig out.

                    I just got some text and images from the HomeGenie website and put it in a Word document. Maybe it is something you can use?
                    I hope the developer of HomeGenie don't mind.

                      AWI asked me to fill out the Controller Matrix form a few days ago, I hadn;t got around to creating a document yet. The document you made looks like I would have done it I think.
