RaspberryPi Valve Controller?

[OneImpBrewery]

Hey New to the automated section and very green. Ive been searching around and not finding what I am looking for. This is perhaps because I dont know enough. So here goes

I have a 10g e-herms system with 2 pumps that I would like to add electronic valves to. Eventually I would love to add a self filling option for my HLT but after I get more knowledge. I wanted to see if I could control it with a raspberry pi.

Could anyone please point me in a direction to start my journey?

Much appreciated

It would be simple enough to control the ball valve using an arduino with a relay shield. Ther are any number of examples on the RPI and Arduino web pages. Just the same as controlling an SSR. A simple search of "using RPI to comtrol motoized valves" will give you all you need and more. Best to start on some of the RPI and Arduino Forums - there is little if anything you can't do with them.
