This is more a task for a PLC or so... or if you dare to take the risk and want to build it cheap: Arduino
Domoticz is too clumsy for a setup you want to rely on. For this you need some setup which is much more low-level and doesn't run a fullblown OS like a Pi. And which can also run the same code over and over again, 24/7
ahwww..
i already have 3 pi's running with (on 2 of them) the latest beta of domoticz, and they running for several days/weeks now without problems so far...
1 for logging temperatures (heating/water) with DS18B20 sensors, 1 for metering stuff like electra/gas through the zwave, and 1 (this one) for building/testing stuff.
the only problem so far was when rebooting my system (router/modem/etc) it has no re-connection to the wifi, but that has been solved by the "ifupdown.original" code..
so arduino is better for a stable system, then rpi running domoticz, to make an ethernet accessible controller, for logging and stuff?
beat me, then i'm lost! ha
i thought it was a great idea to do it through the rpi/domoticz hardware / interface because i can do some other tricks (like lights and stuff) to..
didnt work with arduino so far
