Water keeps running if FB stalls during the execution of a sequence / Risk of flooding #1494

Closed Cl0sedCircuit closed 2 years ago

Cl0sedCircuit commented 2 years ago

It is not possible to automatically turn off peripherals if FB stalls during the execution of a sequence.

This is especially problematic if the solenoid valve controlling water flows remains open. In addition to the obvious losss of water, this can lead to plants drawning or even to a risk of flooding if this happens when the FB is left unattended for several days.

I am assuming that this issue could affect other peripherals as well.

Is it possible to implement a solution that would automatically turn off all peripherals if a stall is detected, or there are no x,y or z movements detected for, say, 5 min?

This can already be achieved through Pin Guard (https://software.farm.bot/v15/app/settings/pin-guard). Please disregard. Thanks!
