Received my new Cloud WiFi Attachment today. Connected to its Wifi, entered all four required fields, and uploaded code via the Web Wizard. Connected the attachment, and had the Cyan light for a minute, and then just the blinking Magenta. Logged into my router and found the attachment was connected....

So, what about the Ranet equipment some of us have? I'm not going to give up my wireless relays or dimming module, but the ability to control everything from the screen and Ethernet connectivity sound great. Let me know.

Thanks,
GC

I'd like to thank GiraffeCat for working with me on troubleshooting and finding out about this issue. All RANet relay boxes and dimming modules will need this update. Symptom: your RANet relay box blinks white/blue very fast and causes the relay box to go into fallback. If you would like to see the...

There are no plan for that. I don't even know how to create a windows phone app :( I would love a native windows 10 app, as I cannot get the web version to run on IE or Edge properly. With the guide I found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/universal-application-platfor...

Happened about the same time tonight - just before 20:00 hours. I think that it may affect all the RANet items. The LED's and the Jebao's were all on, but nothing changed with either when I unplugged the RA power. It may be they just react differently? Does the Dimming Expansion just stay where it's...

Quick update. The RANet Dimming is probably not affected. Happened last night and tonight a little before 20:00 hours. Both relay boxes were freaking out, but the LED's that are controlled through the dimming expansion were still on. Does that help any? I can.post a video tomorrow. As for your quest...

Okay. Both RANet Relay Boxes are freaking out. They did this just this morning: https://youtu.be/D3wdGQi29lI Turning the Relay boxes off then back on has no effect. Unplugging the RA itself causes the relay boxes to do the normal lost contact white only blink. The Freaky flash comes back as soon as ...

For those of you that are following along - still a head scratcher. All new RANet boards installed in everything. Still have this happening. https://youtu.be/R6Drv4LRm2M It is like they relay boxes are getting stupid instructions. It is not the same as losing contact, as the outlets all turn off ins...

If you are running the new libraries, just browse to the internal Webster very uapp. http://ipaddress:2000/WiFi Tried on IE11, Edge, and Amazon Silk. All of them took forever to get the initial page to load. I can enter my controller specifics okay, but on the Status page it stays on "Cloud Se...

It works as a standalone on your browser too. http://www.reefangel.com/download/uapp.zip You need to use the new dev branch of the libraries or update your current one. Line 171 of Arduino\libraries\RA_Wifi\RA_Wifi.h should be: const prog_char SERVER_HEADER1[] PROGMEM = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nSer...

Also, is the knob on your RA Broken? It looks off center in the picture. Again, nice job on that.

Very Nice! Does that eliminate any "stress" on the sensor Bus? Any chance you are going to get with Roberto/some other smart guy and make a RANet version?

Is the UApp capable of being ported / going to be ported to a Windows 10 App, or should I just get a cheap Android tablet and tape it to my desk at work? From how you are all talking this app is very nice.

It's my RANet board. No matter which probes I use - new ph probe, no ph probe, 3 ft single temp, 3 meter single or multiple temp, - it has issues. Temp readings and ph readings, Wireless connectivity issues - all still present and random - no change with restarts, or new probes, no extra probes. I g...

Thanks for the info on the screen. I'm glad it is not a serious issue. (Is someone working on a Use2016Screen?) My current probes are 3 meter cable length. The first "batch" of probes are from a store by CSU. They sell them for the Science Students to do water testing stuff. The Second bat...

Can the fancy UApp that everyone loves get ported as a Windows 10 App? I am parked in front of a pc all the time.

Okay. So I have been busy trying to figure this crap out. I figured out some of the issues, others remain. 1. RA going nuts: I replaced the board, programmed it, and just let it be with nothing plugged into the relay boxes. (The amount of power-strips and appliance timers in the room are absurd.) I ...

So, I have been wondering why we can't control the relays with the joystick on the unit? :?: I think it would be nice to just move the joystick and shut a port off without having to go downstairs and get my phone, etc. We can do PH calibration and stuff like that, why not shut a pump off with it? :?...

Roberto! How are you these days? Yes, the Low ATO is always green. The High ATO works fine. Earlier today it was really messed up. Just kept turning the lights off, resetting itself, and the like. Weird behavior - without my temp probes or PH probe plugged in. I am thinking bad board, and the "...

This AM it's tripping out with only Temp2 plugged in. Turned off the heaters and fan manually in the Portal. Letting the heaters do there thing on their own for now just being plugged into the wall. Left the RA controlling the pumps and lights. Someone please chime in if you have any thoughts about ...

Disconnected temp probes and PH probe. Fan Stays on (lost its signal so it stays in last state maybe???), Box1_Port4 doesn't blip so far, PH didn't move much when unplugged, and the Low ATO still stays on. Plugged in Temp1, and the improved faults returned. Unplugged Temp1. Plugged in Temp2 and it b...

I'll go mess with temp probes. The only expansions are RANet (Relay and Dimming).

Better video here.

So, I thing my RA is dying. Last night I woke up hearing my relays click, my cooling fan randomly turning off and on while temp is sitting at 77.7 degrees. I go over to the RA and look quick. Looks okay, and I cant hear the relays clicking, and the fan behaves. Later today I am up there and it start...

I have been reading on this sight for long enough to know that there are several people that are usually not wrong.

Thank you for all your help.
Roberto, too.

I just got mine today and haven't set it up yet, but from what I understand it is coded like a standard relay. Thanks. I was thinking that since the dimming expansion is coded the same, the relay box might be as well. I never looked (and likely couldn't tell anyway), but I guess the new file in the...

How is the RANet Relay Box code done? Just Like a standard relay expansion? Something else? ReefAngel.StandardLights( Box1_Port3,22,13,19,0 ); or something like ReefAngel.RANet.Relay.StandardLights( Port3,22,13,19,0); Already added lines/file for the Dimming Expansion based on this: http://forum.ree...

Update? I'm sure more than one person is wondering how it's going.

LUK,
GC

Forgive me. Let me ask a different way.

Does the RANet LED Driver need a power source of its own - to run the wireless communication portion of the driver. ( Not the LED power source - A separate source independent of the led power source .)

LMK,
GC

Does it need a separate power source to run the electronics, or does it sample from the led source?

Many uses this RANet has. (In Yoda speak)
