StrangeBrew Elsinore System?

[rlager]

Doug, Thank you for taking the time to create such a cool application. I was just about to create a pid system using the traditional electric approach, I am glad that I did not. A neighbor and I are collaborating to build our own systems and I thought you or other experts may offer some answers to a couple of questions we have. We both do BIAB with no pumps and want to use your Elsinore. Your webpage has most of the required parts list and my own:
Raspberry Pi with SD card(required)
Raspberry Pi Plate kit from Adafruit(really required?)
usb wifi dongle(required)
1-wire DS18B20 digital thermometer(required)
4.7k resistor(needed for temp probe)

Would like to have a volume sensor, could you recommend one that is compatible with Pi?
Could you also recommend a 220volt SSR?

Any comments are appreciated a complete shopping list would be fantastic

Not required, it may make like easier.

yes if you want wireless access.

This is documented

Could you also recommend a 220volt SSR?

There's a lot of choice out there, I can't tell you a perfect one to go for, there's been many threads about SSRs in this forum.

I'm not going to be able to write a shopping list aside from the required hardware list, it changes depending on your country........
