Re: Alexa Control

Oh.... didn't see any mention of that in this thread. That stinks :(

Are there upgrade options from the RA+ to the RA*? I have everything but the head unit, I suppose.

Re: Alexa Control

That did the trick! Got the skill installed, but I'm getting device is unresponsive. I have the Wifi adapter, not the cloud adapter. Is that a problem?

It also only discovered my second relay box, not the first.

EcoTech devices

I know the old RF module has been retired, but I’m wondering if anyone has figured out a solution for controlling EcoTech devices another way. Maybe a connection to EcoSmartLive? I’m picking up some used equipment today and thinking about control. Right now I just have a Radion which doesn’t need an...

Graph Data Doesn’t Load

I’ve been noticing that graph data takes longer and longer to load both in the iOS app and using the U-App. It is to the point t where even after minutes I can’t get the data. Is this being phased out?

Strange Behavior

I have two bits of strange behavior that I haven't been able to figure out. 1. Occasionally, my RA will stop reading temperature and will report out at 0. Sometimes a simple reboot from the iOS app fixes it, sometimes unplugging it does it. Other times it requires doing that repeatedly. This is a pr...

Re: HELP - Opinion on thermostater use with RA

The sensitivity varies by heater manufacturer and even from heater to heater. I set my heater 1F above what I want it to be and use the RA to cycle it on and off. I've found the RA is reliable to about 0.5F, much under that and you get chatter on the heater relay.

I'm adding a BRS two-part dosing system to my tank this weekend. I just got the relay expansion module so I can use my spare relay box for the extra outlets. I'd like to be able to adjust the volume I dose, not set the dosing time and repeat interval. I pulled some code from lenovo's PDE that I thin...

Re: Analog dimming with ELN-60-48D

I used to run this same driver using the original RA. If you are measuring 9.97VDC and the driver doesn't work, the issue isn't with your RA. Are you sure you wired the driver correctly? I doubt this is a current issue. I always put 10k current limiting resistors which would drop the current to 1mA ...

Re: Wifi Utility for Mac Broken?

OK, I got it working. I needed to set the autojoin flag. The command is "set wlan join 1"

Now it connects straight off when it boots. Is that in the directions, I don't think it was.

Re: Wifi Utility for Mac Broken?

A little more info.... I was able to get the module onto my test network and onto my secure network. BUT I have to manually tell it to join with the "join <network>" command. When I unplug it from the USB and hook it back up to my RA, it does not connect to the network after it reboots.

I'm looking for a quick way to test my Kessil's functionality. I'd love to be able to do a repeating sunrise/sunset cycle that lasts 60 seconds. Is there an existing test file (I searched and didn't find one) or a quick few lines of code I can run?

Trouble with Current Git Version

Is the current version on Github stable? Maybe I checked out a working copy of it. I can't get my display to come up now. The red status LED is constantly lit. If I hold the joystick up, I can see the screen blink on and off. Not sure if I just pulled an unstable release or not.
