Automation

    What I am trying to do is automate my powerplant (I am sure you have seen it before) to where the reactors and pumps will turn on and off automatically. I would also want to make it to where you could turn the automated feature off so it can be done manually also. If you are really good with electronics and automation, I need your help with this next update. If you see the latest version of my power plant, you will see that I give credit when it is needed. This update will be the last for this creation and I want it to go out in a big way. Thank You.

    It's tricky... It is difficult to implement something like an automation system when the reactor is complicated. The only way i would think of making it automated is by having a turn all on, or off. can't really see a cooling system, so there isn't much to automate.
    I have previously made a power plant that is automated, but it was smaller. If you want to see it, you can... just ask. It was for the PNEC, but that group seems to be dead at the moment.

    Use a water S-shaped timer wrapped in INSL. The outputs lead to metal which has a switch beside it for turn-on-turn-off.

    You just need to decide what it needs to do and when, then time it out with water and WIFI.
