Does this test the ports on the controller or the relay box?

Last night I noticed that my lights were off early for some reason. I didnt have time to check it out. I looked at the tank this morning and noticed that the lights did not come on. I have three sets of lights with different ballasts and none of them have come on. I will assume it's the dimming sign...

Beta software from the reef angel site?

Has there been any resolution to this issue? I occasionally follow this thread to see if the manufacturer has solved the issue with the wifi module. I've had the wifi module disconnected from the reef angel for quite some time and havent had any issues with the ports arbitrarily turning on and off. ...

no the blue light is out
So if the blue light is not blinking it's connected to my network?

Shouldnt the authentication,associated and DHCP fields read true?

9 out of 10 times I get an error after I enter the SSID and passphrase. Thats where I'm stuck now

okay, got a little farther that time. when I get to the wifi status screen on the utility it shows associated - false authenticated- false DHCP - false I checked my port forwarding and it is set to 192.168.1.180:2000 I checked the port and it is open I also have the wifi attachment set up with a sta...

My wifi attachment was blinking blue so I decided to reconfigure it. I tried to an hour with no success. I decided to uninstall the reef angel controller. I downloaded the latest windows installer and went through the setup. I get to the point where you plug in the cable. I wait for windows to advis...

Hi Roberto, How could I add a new function to the menu? For example, my current menu has water change, feeding etc. I wanted to add a lights on function. Many times I need to look at something in the tank and it's after the lights have gone out. Unplugging something from the relay box and plugging i...

I got home today and found the tank temp above 83.... not good. The chiller was not running yet the head unit display showed the socket active. I unplugged the chiller from the relay box and plugged in a small air pump and it didnt run. I tried the chiller directly into the wall socket and it works....

ok hold on, noob here. This line in the setup tells the controller that probe 3 is the tank water temp... ReefAngel.TempProbe = T3_PROBE; ReefAngel.OverheatProbe = T3_PROBE; So the controller should turn on the chiller based on the following... ReefAngel.StandardFan( Box1_Port5,790,815 ); This is th...

Thats exactly how I want it to work. I noticed the fans running this morning when the lights first came on. The temp never had a chance to reach 85. I didn't know if the code was correct or if the line of code for the hood fan was interfering somehow with the code for the chiller

Roberto, Benn doing a little tweeking. So far everything works except the hood fan. I wanted the fans to come on at 85 degrees and off at 79. I noticed they were on and the temp of the lights was only 80. Here is what I have so far... #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA...

Took a picture and double checked. The cable uses different color wires but they seem to be oriented the same. Found the black wire in one of the plugs pulled out. You need a microscope to be able to see it, don't know how to go about fixing it.

Roberto, I was getting a reading of 185 degrees on one of my probes. I removed the probe extension cable and plugged the probe directly into the head unit and it reads fine. I tried the extension cable on another probe and same result. I looked at the cable and it only plugs in one way on both the p...

I might have figured it out. If the light schedule has the lights off then I can turn them on and off via the portal. If the lights are on following the programmed schedule and I try to turn them off via the portal, they go off then back on almost instantly (hence the blink). I'm thinking that since...

I noticed that. I added an extension to the probe and I think that's when I started getting that reading. I was having the issue with the portal prior to adding the extension though.

Thanks, I've been noticing the wavemaker ports have been cycling. I thought I selected constant when I used the wizard. Is that what the code shows? ReefAngel.Wavemaker( Port5,60 ); ReefAngel.Wavemaker( Port6,60 ); I'm wondering what the 60 stands for? Might I be better of setting port 5 and 6 for a...

Does that go in the loop or setup section?

If I turn off a port via the portal that is connected to a light, I can hear the box click and the lights will blink. Its as if they turn off and back on.

My heater is on port 1. The chiller is on Box 1 port 7. The fan hood I will put on Box 1 port 6.

I don't know, I dont have a smart phone

Here is what I am trying to do. I have temp probe 1 on my lights and temp probe 2 in my sump. I want to be able to turn on a fan to cool the lights when they reach a certain temp and turn on a chiller when the tank temp reaches a certain temp. Here is what I have so far. #include <ReefAngel_Features...

I just added a relay expansion module and relay box. Got it working ok. The additional relays show up on the portal but if I try to turn them on and off via the portal it doesnt work. Ideas?

Roberto, I checked and yes the cable was in the bag with the module. I never noticed it, I was expecting a long cable for some reason. Thanks

No there was no USB cable in the box, just the power cord for the relay box and the SVGA cable.

The only two cables I received were the power cord and the SVGA cable. I assume the jumpers are in the head unit?

There is an SVGA cable which I would use to connect the new relay box to the module but how do you then connect the relay module??

Hi Roberto, Just received my relay expansion box. I have a question, I plug the communication cable from the new relay box to the module. What do I use to connect the module to the main relay box? Is the cable supposed to be included? I haven't opened the Reef Angel head unit yet but are the jumpers...
