pumpingStation 5e2ebe4: overfill safety no longer shuts down machine groups or blocks level control. Pumps keep running during overfill (sewer can't stop receiving). Only upstream equipment is shut down. Demo config: minHeightBasedOn=inlet (not outlet). The minimum height reference for the basin is the inlet pipe elevation — sewage flows in by gravity and the basin level can't go below the inlet without the sewer backing up.

EVOLV — End-to-End Example Flows
Demo flows that show how multiple EVOLV nodes work together in a realistic wastewater-automation scenario. Each example is self-contained: its folder has a flow.json you can import directly into Node-RED plus a README.md that walks through the topology, control modes, and dashboard layout.
These flows complement the per-node example flows under nodes/<name>/examples/ (which exercise a single node in isolation). Use the per-node flows for smoke tests during development; use the flows here when you want to see how a real plant section behaves end-to-end.

Wet-well basin + machineGroupControl orchestrating 3 pumps (each with up/downstream pressure measurements), individual + auto control, process-demand input via dashboard slider or random generator, full FlowFuse dashboard. |
How to import
- Bring up the EVOLV stack:
docker compose up -dfrom the superproject root. - Open Node-RED at
http://localhost:1880. - Menu → Import → drop in the example's
flow.json(or paste the contents). - Open the FlowFuse dashboard at
http://localhost:1880/dashboard.
Each example uses a unique dashboard path so they can coexist in the same Node-RED runtime.
Adding new examples
When you create a new end-to-end example:
- Make a subfolder under
examples/named<scenario>-<focus>. - Include
flow.json(Node-RED export) andREADME.md(topology, control modes, dashboard map, things to try). - Test it on a fresh Dockerized Node-RED — clean import, no errors, dashboard loads.
- Add a row to the catalogue table above.
Wishlist for future examples
These are scenarios worth building when there's a session for it:
- Pump failure + MGC re-routing — kill pump 2 mid-run, watch MGC redistribute to pumps 1 and 3.
- Energy-optimal vs equal-flow control — same demand profile run through
optimalcontrolandprioritycontrolmodes side-by-side, energy comparison chart. - Schedule-driven demand — diurnal flow pattern (low at night, peak at 7 am), MGC auto-tuning over 24 simulated hours.
- Reactor + clarifier loop —
reactorupstream feedingsettler, return sludge controlled by a smallpumpingStation. - Diffuser + DO control — aeration grid driven by a PID controller from a dissolved-oxygen sensor.
- Digital sensor bundle — MQTT-style sensor (BME280, ATAS, etc.) feeding a
measurementnode in digital mode + parent equipment node. - Maintenance window — entermaintenance / exitmaintenance cycle with operator handover dashboard.
- Calibration walk-through — measurement node calibrate cycle with stable / unstable input demonstrations.
