From what I understand the RF module has been discontinued . I have one that I am tinkering with on my RA. Could I use it on the new Star controller? Also if I connect the Star via ethernet will I have all the features that I would have from the cloud wifi attachment? I love the new look and I am ex...

I must say this app is great for my aquarium maintenance accounts. The fact that I am able to add multiple tanks allows me to easily switch from one customer to another. It would be nice if it included a way to set alerts. That being said I am just happy with the ease of use. Is there a limit to how...

Lee and Curt, I will try this and see what I can do. I am about a month away from tackling this project but will post the results.

Glad I found this old post. Tried the code and it works perfectly.

Lee, I am still learning about this so I am sure I will be able to answer this better in the future. One reason I want the binding would be to be able to include the home aquarium in the Openhab environment just like the hvac, the sprinklers etc.

Any thoughts on what happened? Controller works great ever since.

Roberto, when I looked at Openhab I took a look at all of the bindings and the usable technology. This brought me to the manufacturer sites for the different items, like Phillips hue, Ge link etc. I will be spending some money with them. My point is I belive this would be good for RA and and the use...

Roberto, I think you are looking at the Souliss link. The Openhab works with any number of devices that do not have either of those two things. I only made mention of the Souliss for an example of another project I am working on using Openhab.

Curt, How hard would it be to create the binding? Do you see some value in creating it? I have the openhab up and running if you need a test subject.

Lee, Now I see what you are saying lol.

The Android app is really good and works well. I don't want anyone to think I am not happy with it. The purpose for the binding would be to include the home aquarium with the rest of the home automation. Openhab has the largest collection of bindings that can make all parts of the home work together...

I don't know much about coding and especially Java but I am trying to learn. I am planning on running a home automation system using Opehab http://www.openhab.org It looks like the best and most complete open source software k. If someone was to add a binding for Reef Angel that would be amazing! Th...

Found this post on a search. Looks like its an older one but is this code the best way to activate feedmode at a set time each day?

Fishflipper, it is my understanding (and I am new at most of this) that you cannot extend usb cables that far. Does converting it to ethernet cable provide a stronger signal due to the quality of the wire? I have a ton of cat5e laying around. This would be very usful for a number of aquariums I serv...

So you could run an ethernet cable to an expansion hub to add an additiona relay box, ph and orp etc. Then run a seperate cabe to add an additional temp probe. May have to play with this. Currently I have run wires to my basement to monitor my frag tanks and that works well.

So this would allow you to control another tank but not monitor it. I am interested to see how this turns out.

So I went to check that after work tonight and now it works just fine. Glad its back up but not sure what happened.

Working on my tank yesterday I put the RA into feedmode. The screen went black and the green led stays on constant. The relay box shut itself off with the alarm on. Installed a different head unit as a temporary and everything works fine. Unable to communicate with usb and usb power source. Disassem...

Time will tell but I am concerned about reliability and accuracy. Hope it works well. Running dosing pumps with this would be a game changer.

Has anyone seen or heard about this product? https://www.reefs.com/blog/2015/07/10/m ... ing-system

I think I accidently posted this topic twice. oops. Thanks for your help!

Hopefully I will have some more time to play with the programing next week. Just finishing up little legue season for my boys. One thing I would like to add to my code will be the option to top off with kalk vs regular ro depending on ph reading. Lnevo, I seem to remember in your code you had an ala...

Well it has my vote.

Is it possible in the future?

Can you post some code with an example? Sounds like fun

Thank you. I will give that a shot.

Do you add the code in setup?

Is it possible right now to add a second RA as a slave (wireless). Obviously You could setup a separate one but then you would have to deal with multiple portal logins. A seperate Slave module would be cool to monitor and control multiple tanks.

Any plans for a wireless expansion hub to go with RaNet?

I am setting up wifi for one of my customers and I am about 15 ft out of range. Is there an antenna that can be added to the wifi module?
