I recently set up a water level detection system using two P45 float switches with the EzloPi platform, and I wanted to share my experience with the community! 
The goal was to monitor both high and low water levels in a storage tank, and I must say, the setup was surprisingly straightforward. I followed the tutorial available on the EzloPi website, which provided clear step-by-step instructions. If you’re interested, you can check it out here: Water Level Detection Tutorial. There’s also a helpful video demonstration linked on the page!
Here’s a quick overview of my setup:
- Hardware: I used two P45 float switches, which are durable and reliable. They were easy to install and provided consistent readings.
- Platform: The EzloPi platform was a great choice. It integrated seamlessly with my existing setup and offered the necessary tools to monitor and control the water levels effectively.
- Configuration: I set up the system to send alerts via my smartphone when the water level reached critical points. This has been incredibly useful for maintaining the tank without constant manual checks.
One challenge I faced was ensuring the float switches were positioned correctly. After a bit of trial and error, I found the optimal placement, and the system has been running smoothly ever since. I also appreciated the community support on the EzloPi forums, where I could ask questions and get quick responses.
If anyone is considering a similar project, I highly recommend starting with this setup. It’s cost-effective, easy to implement, and has significantly improved my water management process. Let me know if you have any questions or need advice—happy to help!
