An idea or two for a new feature.
First, if there were some sort of probe to read stray electricity, then the HC might have a “diagnostic mode,” where the HC turns off and then on outputs until cause is found. So, suppose a heater is releasing stray voltage. Upon triggers (unusual increase in voltage reading) and/or periodic (monthly?) routine, outputs are sequentially turned off and then on to diagnose a known/unknown issue. Then, if something if found, a alert. Maybe a low-priority outputs shut down with the alert.
Similarly, diagnostics on dosers could be done. Alk dosing, for example, causes a slight pH bump. It seems like one could program the system to spot a specific daily spike that recurs and to alert if that spike doesn’t appear. That is easy enough by eyeball, but knowing whether the missing spike is Calc, alk, or something else might be nice. That can be figured out manually, which is cool, but automating it as a diagnostics routine would be the bomb.
