Has anyone else looked into these controllers? It seems to offer an interesting combined hardware/software approach, arguably much like the aquaero and fan-o-matic.

I'd say they took all my ideas on a product I haven't had time to design.

yeah its a SMBus based thing as far as I can see.

What do you think, though, assuming your own is still in the concept phase.

KustomPC sells them. They're a bit like the V.L. Systems' Zephyrus, but arguably more sophisticated and better implemented.

I think I'm going to go for it. I'll sse if I can integrate it with all the other bits of monitoring I have got so far!

Handily they brought out the sensor extension fro six analog temp sensors and two flow meters. If I combine that with Starbuck3733T's SBBus sensor I would actually have 22 temp readings!

They're using the same flow meter as AC and I got two of those to add to the fun.

Nexxo's your expert on this one, but afaik the flowmeter of choice is the Swissflow SF800, which is maybe ~EUR50. At EUR ~15 I thought it worth playing with the AC version.

That said, the T-Balance-Sensorhub thing is supposed to work with any flow sensor as you choose the setup params so maybe later I'll upgrade

It works with any flow sensor you say? that's interesting. Definately gonna have to look into that one.

Looks cool. Can't wait to see how it looks in your case :lol:

Are you going to be replacing any of your current temp monitoring with this or are you just adding more?
