I wish to show the fill level of septic system pump tank. I have four float switches and with resistors set up a voltage divider so the voltage correspondes to levels in the tank. And I want to display the level on a Hubitat Dashboard. I thought I could do it with a Node MCU ESP8266 using its Ana…

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for here? Generally a septic tank stays "full" of liquid which is then transferred to your lateral lines. How you are using a device to measure how full the solids are I'm not quite understanding.

I guess I didnt explain. Between my septic tank and the bed there is a tank. the pump in the tank pumps the 'water' up hill to the septic bed. I need to monitor if this pump is working properly, thus how full the tank is.

You could look at the Haas implementation of a Zigbee device [see this thread] ( Thingshield replacement for arduino over zigbee now available for hubitat ) I have a few working and they are trouble free. The device has analog inputs the will directly interface with Hubitat. @ogiewon wrote a Hubi…

How does the pump connect to your electrical system and do you have access to the tank itself?

The pump is 115v and it has a regular plug on its own circuit. The pump recently quit and was just replaced and the cover to the tank has not been covered back in and sodded over again yet. Thus I built a level reading device consisting of float switches with resisters in voltage divider array so t…

I tried to do something similar in my septic system, but nothing quite worked out. I ended up installing a Blink outdoor camera on a PVC structure I built to put above the inner access hatch cover. If water rises above the inner access hatch, then I know I have issues (caused by soil saturation). Th…

Typically what you see in small commercial systems (both septic and domestic pumped water supply) is two pumps controlled by 4 floats in conjunction with a duplex controller. Something like this: [image] In my younger days I installed several of these controllers and the basic idea, is the first f…

I obviously have only one pump. Since there is a possibility of the frost level going as deep as the piping between pump and septic bed there is no check valve, so it drains the line back to the tank after each run. The line can not be deeper due to bedrock. This was originally a seasonal place. W…

That "Test" screen capture--is it in HE dashPanel? If so, what template did you use for that?

I have a 2500gal tank to supply my house. Using an ultrasonic sensor on the lid. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V6HSN8B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That sensor wired into an ESP32 micro controller coded with Arduino and using Hubduino library. On the Hubitat side using a DH that can report the tank level as a percentage and how many gallons is left.
