Hey, I would like to install a blastgate automation in my woodworking shop. The hardware is already installed and all components work as planned. Unfortunately, creating a flow for my application is now much more complicated than I would have thought. Maybe there is someone here who already has a s…

[image] Mutually exclusive setup which says that it is one man shop. Perfectly fine but is it intentional?

(Sorry, I didn't look at the flow or load it.) So these machines send actual MQTT messages? Wow! Mind blown.

Hey, you're right of course, my sketch shows it in a very simplified way. It is a hobby workshop in which I usually work alone. But it would be better if there was a method in which all blastgates are open as soon as both machines are in turned on.

I can't say whether the message comes in the MQTT protocol. The condition of the two machines (saw & planner) is measured with a current sensor that is mounted directly in the control cabinet. These sensors are connected to the Raspberry Pi via an analog/digital converter and output a value in volt…

Sorry for the long delay in my reply. @steffstereo That flow is very good. Basic and easy to understand. Dumb/silly question: Why 3 INPUTS? Open / Close and Off? From what you've described the flow should be fairly easy to make/do. Analogue input from the device. Get value. Above a certai…

At first I thought it should be very easy, but I need some features that make it a little more complicated for me. Features i would need: Servo-motors should have a delay of 1 second to eachother. (less load for powersupply) Servo-motor sholud switch off 2 seconds after operation. (If the s…

[image] steffstereo: Servo-motor sholud switch off 2 seconds after operation. (If the servo were blocked it would keep pushing and at some point the motor would perhaps burn out) For sure the main controller needs some kind of feedback from servos. What kind of communication is planned here…

Meanwhile I made a valve representaion for dashboard. (dashboard 2) [image] [{"id":"ba31437764d0a2fa","type":"ui-template","z":"765bf42177e58b83","group":"e5fba2e141cfe49e","page":"","ui":"","name":"valve 1","order":4,"width":"2","height":"2","head":"","format":"<template>\n <div class=\"servo…

@hotNipi oh thank you very much for the dashboard, that looks very cool. I'll try to install it later. I'm not sure if there's a way to do a proper status query when it comes to the servos. I use a PCA9685 connected via SCL/SDA to control the servos.

I've been racking my brain for a while now about how to create a good flow. During my first attempts at programming, effects occurred in certain situations that were not intended. so there were logic errors. I have now created a new mind map for a possible flow. what do you think about that? [Blas…
