Decided to try again today. A new serial port appeared (COM4), so switched to that and shazaam, it worked...

Had to get a new laptop. Installed RA from website, but can't upload to RA+. Get the following error. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure it out.

NVM working fine, guess I didn't give it long enough...

Using a float switch on the I/O, would like to get an email when the switch is activated. Thought it would be easiest to set a custom variable, then report via portal using; ReefAngel.CustomVar[0]= ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(0); However, not getting any response from portal. Tried setting the portal va...

Working, sorry about late reply. Thanks!

I can't seem to get the alert to work. I have the Portal setting to "Water Leak Flag = 1", but don't get alerts. If I set to "=0" it works. Thoughts?

Excellent. Thanks.

Checked with cable from expansion module, worked fine. Cable looks like USB to mini B?

So if shorting out means jamming the paperclip into the hole where the salinity probe connects, then no it did not report any numbers, so assuming the module is the culprit. I really like having salinity monitor, but a little nervous about this happening again. Can I chalk this up to a random occurr...

How do I do that?

It looks like the salinity expansion/probe might have been the culprit. The salinity went from 30 to 6 instantly sometime before I noticed the bus lock. I tried cleaning the probe and unplugging the salinity expansion, still reads 6. There was a moment when I was fussing with the connection to the e...

Just got a bus lock, no new hardware, so sure what caused, but disconnected power and now working. Is there a way to disable functionality if a bus lock does occur? In my case it dumped my entire alk reservoir...would really like to avoid that again.

The dynamic DNS allows you to control via the universal app? However, the data on the universal app is still correct?

Success! Thank you!

I added a test line, but still not working. What am I missing? Still not showing up in head unit either. #define Dose1 Box2_Port1 ReefAngel.Relay.On( Dose1); #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_Wifi.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <OneWire.h> #include <Time.h> #include <D...

Found it, at least I think so. Still not working, doesn't show up on head unit...

Not sure I follow. Should I keep trying switch combinations until it registers as Box2? Which number is Box2?

Here is a pic of the switches, isn't this 2?

Set PCE to ID 2. It doesn't seem to be recognizing it at all - nothing on the head unit menu.

Correction. It does not show up on the portal, forgot that I unplugged the wireless.

When I first installed the power control expansion, it did show up, but was always ON. I thought maybe it was the ID, so I changed, but now stays OFF even when I go back to the original ID.

OK, I can't figure out how to get this installed. I've got an expansion hub with a second relay box and salinity expansion. I've set the power control expansion to a unique ID and connected to the expansion hub. There is power to the power control expansion. The power control expansion does not show...

pH has definitely stabilized, so that's good. However, salinity is still variable, bounces from 26 - 36. Is this typical?

Plugging the expansions into separate power strip seems have stabilized the readings. pH slowly climbed from 1 to 5.1, still off, but at least it's reading...will try to recalibrate and see what happens.

It's definitely not the probe, tried 3, all read 1.00. I restored the preloaded code and plugged the salinity expansion into a power strip, no change. pH is still reading 1.00.

Saga continues, salinity oscillating, pH not working at all. Maybe I have the connections wrong. Here's what I've got... RA to main relay main relay to expansion hub expansion hub to relay box 1 expansion hub to power control expansion expansion hub to salinity expansion The power control expansion ...

I tried going back to original set up and old code. No luck, pH reading 1. Tried different pH probe as well.

A new pattern has emerged, salinity still oscillating, but pH is now off (reading 1). I disconnected all the expansions, but pH is still not working.

Any ideas?

I added relay expansion, power control expansion, and salinity expansion. Having 2 issues 1) salinity probe calibration stability and 2) both the salinity probe and ph probe seem to be oscillating between on/off same period, same length of time...Trying to figure out #2 before sorting out #1. If you...
