Certainly you can, but you have to remember with any system there's a risk involved (including the system not working when required) and it will be high on homemade systems.Quote:

You may need a Raspberry Pi, as mine is connected to HP Microserver, Internet and powersupply.
Do not rely on anything electrical to help fight a fire as power is the first thing to go out
Oh yeah ofcourse that's exactly what I do, that's the only thing a street car owner does. But when I'm in my patrol I fit in better over here where there isn't as many townie 4wd owners that spend more time buying parts and talking about their cars than driving them. Drives me nuts and I just want to throw mud at them.Quote:

Thanks, I'm already aware of that and was more looking at a defense if I was not home and could activate if before power or mobile reception was lost.Quote:

In general micro-controllers are very reliable compare to computer systems (Micro processors), but again mine is only a home made system which with limited testing (as only me) I am not sure what other things can possibly go wrong.
So I must reiterate again that you MUST consider the risks involved and mindful of on depending on such systems as a reliable defense mechanism.
I also had a look at setting up something similar. Good idea to use Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed (MIMS) conductors and gal piping above ground if you wish to keep your fire suppression system operating. It would only benefit you if you had your own power source too as power is usually cut in the event of a fire. You could use the controller to isolate your system from your mains power and start and connect your own power source.Quote:
