Great, thanks for the clarifications @Sparkman !
Being able to measure power would of course be a nice bonus! I'll think about it. I have another question (of course... :) ).
The Nano and Pro mini have only 6 analogue inputs, I would be having need for 8... Would I need to use two arduinos or is there any other way?
Best,
Tim
Have you thought of sticking a hall effect sensor to the outside of the relay. Or in the magnetic flux.

Try http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hot-Ultrasonic-Module-Distance-Measuring-Transducer-Sensor-Waterproof-/121627918430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item1c5196c05e you would need to be able to mount above the water.
thanks for the help..
is there a way to send.msg directly to another node without mucking with "MyMessage".
ie.. sent a msg on the fly to fire a relay on another module.
i have looked through the api and don't really understand how i can send it with out upsetting the rest of the sketch.
thanks again hope it makes sense.

is cheap and easy you may be able to piggy back it on the board.
hope it helps

hi, great project...
i would like to control multiple relays on different nodes from the same input.
also......
what affect would one of these relay nodes disappearing at times .ie in a truck and would be missing at times would it have to be reset upon return.
thankyou..
