1. A flow control center comprising:

  • a barometric sensor configured to sense pressure and emit a first signal corresponding to sensed pressure;

    at least one ball valve assembly having a body, a ball valve positioned in said body, a motor engaged with said ball valve and configured to move said ball valve among a plurality of discreet angular positions to selectively change a flow of fluid through said valve assembly including a first position in which said ball valve closes said body and a second position in which said ball valve minimally blocks said body; and

    a computing device having;

    a communication device configured to receive the first signal from said barometric sensor,one or more processors, anda non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising;

    receiving the first signal from said barometric sensor,determining a first flow rate in response to the sensed pressure represented by the first signal, andcontrolling said motor to move said ball valve to a first of said plurality of discreet angular positions, said first of said plurality of discreet angular positions corresponding to the sensed pressure represented by the first signal.
