Programming a routine in python that is triggered by Reef-Pi

[dportero]

Hello.

I want to be able to utilize the float switches that I have for my ATO for an AWC as well. I have not found a way to do this in the UI. The only other thing I can think of is programming a short routine in python that is triggered by a timer in the UI. Does anyone know if this is something that is possible?

It is possible for sure. You can use the API to watch out for state of something or turn on something like an LED with the UI an that can be monitored from python.

Is there a guide or a resource I can use to learn how to implement that? Ive seen mention of it before, but no discussion as to how it is done. Thanks!

Thanks! Is there something a little more in depth? Ive done stuff in python before, but this whole API thing is new to me.
