Hi guys
It's been a long time since I've been on here - sadly, house moves have prevented any "automation" thoughts!
Anyway... what I'm looking for is a water level sensor that can provide, preferably to a PC or on an IP address, a reading of how high (or low) the water currently is.
The level is actually the brook next to our business, as it is liable to flooding, and whilst the Environment Agency gauges are useful, the nearest one is over 2 miles away!
I've looked at various internet ideas, but haven't found quite the right solution.
Ideally what I'd like is to put a pipe vertically into the edge of the brook and run the sensor in that, thus meaning the sensor isn't affected by outside forces (dirt etc). The sensor would then report back, and I can graph the water level, and setup alerts based on the value coming back when it reaches certain levels.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated....
Thanks
