Default Input needed.... read this......

Hello,

Lighting control based on time of day (i.e. dawn and dusk). If you really kean...simulate seasons. If you have an Icecap, you can program the Icecap to dim gradually.

Flood alarm - shutdown main sump pump when overflow dies.

Temperature sensing...did you know that you can get an IC to do that ? Even a resistor will do (special Radio Shack resistor).

PH and Temperature logging and displaying average/min/max. Logging to EEPROM and display it over a period [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Power disruption safe (don't want your controller to be in a dead state, when the power returns).

Remote monitoring/control with webcam via X10/Serial/10Base-T interface (or WWW). WWW user can control the position of the camera....okay maybe that's a little bit hard [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

.....Well...what do you say ? Say...what are you going to use to implement this ?
