OK Jeff, I'm snowed in. No better time to muck about with Arduino stuff.

I've had to re-boot my Arduino-brain. Seems a memory leak has caused all my knowledge to run out.

It's beginning to come...

Thanks jeff5may,

Since you have no LED outputs, are you figuring on the light bulbs to indicate if things are functioning?

BBP,

I'm curious why you want all the temp sensors? Seems like maybe 1 or 2 would cover most hazard situations. Are the rest for general data logging?

Also, it seems to me, regarding pressure...

I think this is a great idea. No moving parts.

Unless you need to do calculations that require precise flow measurement, like precise COP, knowing exact flow rate just isn't needed.

The reason to delay pump shutdown is to get the last few BTUs from each system heating cycle.

In my opinion, having a water pump fail is an emergency condition. Of course shut down the compressor...

In my case, my basement will protect the heat pump from severe cold, but it is not heated and that's where the heat pump will be located.
