Reef-pi controllable power strip

[ManyBlenny]

If I get something like this
amazon link
for a new reef-pi, can I plug it into a surge protector or does it need to go directly into the wall?

Into the wall..... @Sral correct me if I am wrong.

Keep in mind it only looks like it switch 2 pair on and off.. so you cant use it to switch all 4 outlets.

Good point, maybe I should look at a different one. I was having trouble getting search results for this kind of thing. The one from the reef pi tutorial is the only other controllable one I've found

Yeah, I think the most used ones are:
- Kasa WiFi controllable power strip
- American DJ
- Robo-Tank power strip

Maybe a few of @theatrus's new power bars.

Plus the DIY-crowd like me

First: I have never done this.
When I debated making a controller with some raspberry picos, I was going to follow this guy's instructions

Thanks, I completely forgot the Tasmota and Home-Automation based single sockets !

 

[ManyBlenny]

I forgot about IFTTT, that is an enticing option that should have more products available.

Something to be wary of: I think only the Kasa driver currently supports more than one socket per device within ReefPi, if I’m not mistaken.

I had tested the orb probe from atlas. Since their ph, ore, EC and DO probe all uses the same i2c commands to get reading the ph ezo driver should work as it is. Calibration etc won't work, but you can get the probe running by reading and controlling any device with it

We have driver for this, and I tested it when I. initially wrote it, have not used it in a long time but this is the best wifi powerstrip, I felt. Its bit expensive
