I concur with
@rstrouse
Once I decided to venture into the chem controller realm, I did look at and consider the IntelliChem. There are one or two who do use the IntelliChem paired with njspC-dashPanel. I took their input along with input from several others (including
@rstrouse ) and ultimately, I decided to go the Atlas Scientific probe/sensor, Tentacle T3 / Relay Equipment Manager (REM) route. I had already been running nodejs-poolController-dashPanel as my primary IntelliCenter pool controller by the time I started thinking about a chem controller.
I will admit there were some learning curves involved but I had a tremendous amount of help and support to get me over the hump and as I mention in my original post here, I was exploring some unknown territory.
I don't have any hands-on experience with IntelliChem but I have studied the manual. If I were to do it all over again, I would definitely select my same course of action.
The REM chem controller software paired up with the Atlas Scientific sensors/probes/Tentacle T3's in conjunction with nodejs-poolController-dashPanel / InfluxDB/Grafana output has exceeded all of my expectations. Super happy with the final outcome.
If things right now seem to be very hazy. I get it. I've been there for sure. But you will have help. If it wasn't for
@rstrouse @tagyoureit and others mentioned in my original post here, there would have been no way I could have accomplished what I did.
Long story short. I don't have any super-special skill sets. Only average IT abilities. Like was mentioned above, it's all about whether or not you have the time, desire and patience to make it happen.
Thanks...
