Maybe this is a Plan 9 managed, microcontroller project? Then the styx-on-a-brick example seems a great starting point for getting the query status, execute action interface. I plan for this to be a long term, here and there geeky-dad project I can share with my daughter :-) (She's only 3 but I think she already has mastered the iPad) Dave --0015174c3c483c2e3904a935a00f Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

take a look at styx-on-a-brick. =A0Once you have the basic devices working,= actuating a relay/pump should be straight forward.

I figured I'd need some kind of microcontroll= er for the pump and sensors. =A0Maybe this is a Plan 9 managed, microcontro= ller project?
