I'm using an android tablet for a permanent interface using the UAPP. I chose the 10" Lenovo Tab4 but most tablets are probably compatible with this setup. Reason I went with this tablet was screen size and a more current android version than most budget tablets. To make this work the way I wan...

Maybe even 4 relay boxes wide... example.

My wife got me a 10 inch tablet to use as the main interface for the controller. Would it be a lot of trouble to do some formatting changes to the UAPP? It would be nice if the Relays were tiled instead of vertical. I think you could go 3 wide and it would make it so you wouldn't have to scroll to s...

Thanks, the ORP module is connected and actually working.

I put the terminator back on and its reading. I think the new probe is faulty.

Well... it worked for a week. I guess I need to get a new module.

How do you use the i2c scanner with the star controller?

Is there anything that can be done to troubleshoot it?

Nevermind... Just like my Expansion Hub, I decided that even though there was no corrosion or visible ingress to wash the circuit board in rubbing alcohol with a toothbrush. Dried on top of a HVAC vent. Works just fine now... :? Whatever works I guess :lol: I need to get some ORP calibration solutio...

Also, if I short the BNC connector and try to calibrate it reads 0...

Trying to bring my ORP expansion back online. When I first plugged it in everything seemed to be working (not 0) but the probe was jacked up so I ordered a replacement. I had to go out of state and just left the jacked up probe and the ORP module operating. Now that I am home ORP is reading 0. I ass...

Unrelated to my aquarium but I purchased a Tesla Model 3, its an awesome car! If anyone is purchasing a Tesla and needs a referral code for free supercharging I'd be super appreciative if you use my referral code Just send me a pm, Thanks!

New cable didn't help so I pulled the Expansion Hub apart. I checked resistance of all the resistors, they were all comparable. It looked clean and without corrosion. I washed it down with 90% rubbing alcohol an tossed it onto a furnace vent to dry it out. So far so good! At this point I can only as...

I have an expansion hub from the early days. It worked when I put it away 5 years ago but now all I get are intermittent bus locks when I use it. Are there any firmware or code updates I would need to do to make this expansion hub function with the star? I've tried it with and without the 5v power s...

For my size tank a calcium reactor is overkill (65g) I think this entire hobby is overkill. My Coral/Invert QT which is a RSM 130D (34gal) has a full blown Masterflex CaRx setup I used to have to test and dose that tank daily but now can go months without making adjustments to the reactor. It may b...

Now that I have the ethernet board hooked up the app is much more responsive. I'm hopeful the ethernet board doesn't time out like my wifi module did. We have really spotty cell service around here so today when I went into lowes or got home and didn't have wifi connected the app displayed notificat...

Damn are those streaming numbers per month or total since being set up? Congrats on the baby! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Thanks :D Haha, since last time I updated firmware. Maybe 5 months ago. I was being a little hard on the wife... She's a special ed high school teacher, works after hou...

I assume I'm good to go here since nobody said "stop,no,don't" so I plan on getting started this week. Will post updates as I go.

I purchased on a bunch of 3rd party temp probes, they looked good, but didn't hold up. The original RA temp probes are still working great and are within spec after 6 years. You get what you pay for. The aftermarket probes lasted less than 4 months and started rusting where they sealed the shell (no...

You also have to love the Unifi Management Software... the wife says she doesn't watch much TV :lol: https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1953/31586969488_53d9de374d_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1970/45462036221_60759d51ef_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1946/31586969238_2c4eaa3596_c.jpg

I second the Ubiquity option. I got tired of the crappy consumer wifi options as well. I run the original UAP (wifi bgn) for my wifi that my RA connects to and I run a UAP Pro at home. I have Cat 6 hardwire everywhere as well. I haven't made the plunge to AC version... trying to let all the standar...

Thanks! I have a Ubiquiti Unifi network setup and wired the house with Cat6. Thing is absolutely rock solid, wifi uptime is currently 163 days without a hiccup :). I was able to hardwire the single access point into the ceiling right in the middle of the house (2800sf tri-level split). The lowest an...

congrats with the baby on the way! yeah, time does fly when you are having fun. I'm sure you will figure out your issue with the wifi module and all. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Thanks! We're super excited. I've almost given up on the wifly module. It's been a royal PITA. Every time I think ...

I'd like to get started on my relay box for the lighting on my 600gal reef. Just want to run it buy you guys first before I start picking up parts. My light fixture consists of roughly 1200w halide and about 600w of T5 and will be run off a dedicated 20a circuit. The relay box will need to reside up...

Has it really been since January since I posted here? Dang time flys when you're having fun. I've been running my reefangel offline for a while since I can't get the wifi module to stay connected. No matter what I do it dies around 4-9 days. Haven't pulled the trigger on the star controller just yet...

I still have one so hopefully it will work. Since I already have a plus I may use it to develop my new setup and switch over to the Star once I am ready and confident I have it all working. At that point I can just use the Plus for the display to control the lighting and the vortechs. I like the id...

Awesome, great job! We appreciate the hard work!!

Looks like going beyond 6 temp probes will require a fair amount of coding to the libraries. Until we can work through that I'll use 6 probes to just monitor as well as be a safety to my BTA propagation system. I'll continue to bring modules online. Currently I am trying to get the 6 probes to displ...

Thanks.

I believe you can use more than 6 but that code gives you 6 on the display and portal. I need 11 minimum.

Needing more temp probes and not wanting a bunch of Y harnesses I decided to put together my own Temp Probe Expansion Hub. I wasn't really interested in building one on a breadboard but was hoping for something a little more finished. Currently the info needed to add additional probes is scattered a...

I ordered one of these, will try to modify it to work. Hopefully it doesn't have too much circuitry. Roberto, I can't find the post talking about using a resistor in the circuit when using a bunch of temp probes. If I am able to turn this hub into just a passive hub what type of resistor should I us...

Same splitter above but cheaper. http://www.microcenter.com/product/221360/TX3_Fan_Power_Splitter_Cable and even cheaper... http://www.microcenter.com/product/449309/3-Pin_Fan_Splitter_Power_Cable and yet even cheaper if you aren't in a hurry. Free shipping too... http://www.microcenter.com/product/...

Good luck, hope you are QTing them. Tangs and Butterflies are tough with disease. Butterflys in general are really hard to get to eat so if it doesn't gobble up mysis in a few days you may need to start with live food.
