How can I monitor the pressure of my CO2 kegerator bottle

[abeasst]

How can I go about monitoring the CO2 pressure of the CO2 bottle in my kegerator. I want to get a notification if it drops below a certain pressure. I've already got a contact sensor monitoring the temperature of the kegerator.

use a pressure switch, wired into a contact switch

Please let me know if you get this working. This would be awesome.

I had a kegerator that used an analog pressure sensor connected to a basic stamp micro controller. You could integrate that via rs 232 to c4. This would require a large amount of effort to integrate.

^Wow, talk about taking the long way around... Hobbs pressure switch connected to either a CA device or directly to a HC.

A pressure switch only gives you an on or off reading depending on what pressure the switch activates. My setup senses the actual pressure in psi and can pass that information to a c4 controller. Think on a light switch versus a light dimmer.

well per what the OP was asking for " I want to get a notification if it drops below a certain pressure" a pressure switch will work perfectly and much easier to set up

Different strokes for different folks...
