Reef Angel Forum

Are you really sure that the firmware really updated? Can you change something obvious like custom var or something you are not using to confirm the firmware is indeed updated? When you generated the new code, did you encrypt the new password? Make sure to use the new RA_STRING1 with the new encryp...

*bump*

Ok, it definitely didn't work. I saw the firmware update happen and it no longer updates the cloud data until I revert the password.

I'm testing again, I may have had a compile issue...

Can we do something about that? I know on the cloud hub I have a TempProbeIDs[]={ 5, 4 }; I don't know why I re-ordered them but what can we do to make this more static or override when needed.

I just had to replace my probes and the 10' one which was my Display is now T3. Quite annoying

No, that doesn't seem to work. I'm pretty sure the RA updated after I changed the password but it doesn't seem to be sending data once I change everything over. The UApp caches a lot too so it's finicky, but essentially it all looks like it's working but I can't send commands.

So I changed my forum password which broke the cloud connectivity for my star... What would be the right procedure to update it? If I change it and compile a new code, will the star be able to download it still? NB: It's been a long while since I used the local arduinio app and not sure how out of d...

Interesting problem. I've been able to use mostly the web wizard lately, but also because all my contribs have been merged. I would definitely need to maintain compatibility if I were to do any Library changes in the future. You're talking about just managing the ReefAngelFeatures.h ? That could be ...

Roberto, will that work on the cloud hub? If not could it be added there too. I think we can use the web wizard for that with the plugin? Not that I plan on updating the code much, but I'm sure this is something I'd forget at some point

ReefAngel.AddMultiChannelWaterLevelExpansion(); // MultiChannelWaterLevelExpansion

That should take care of it

There is no forwarding in the "Home" network. Forwarding is to get you from your router to the RA inside your network. The portal gets updated because the RA makes an *outgoing* connection to the portal every 5 minutes, but you cannot connect internally to a device (RA) behind your firewal...

I agree 100%

Ok well at least you know that it's working now. So the app is working properly now?

Did you re-setup the port forwarding? It sounded like you went from .2 to .8 or vice-versa. The port-forwarding needs to match that.

Apologies for any miscommunication.

You need to set it static on your router. If you aren't using cloud wifi or star then it's not going to work with your port forwarding..

Thanks that helped. I had to delete and recreate the bookmark (I think) on my phone. Will try a different way next time.

Is there an easy way to confirm if I have your version @sbidny?

Yes, leave off the ,5 if you want to set that in memory as well.

Trickling in more updates: Plan to target the timeout issues when you try to update values to their same value next. Similar issue with the relays if they reset. For instance, If i override a port on and my code put's it back to auto but then starts a timer or calls another function, you'll get the...

I would recommend using the Uapp instead of the old ReefAngel app. The Internal Memory section is just like the portal page and you can browse the fields instead of trying to peek/poke the values directly. There is a separate variable for Mem_B_DP1Timer and Mem_I_DP1RepeatInterval. Yes the 120 would...

Yeah, you just need to use the function:

ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat1(Port7);

The built in libraries support up to 3 pumps with the default memory variables which you can set in the uapp or on the portal.

Are you already using DosingPump built-in variables for Pump1,2, and 3?

For the DelayedOn issue, the post was old, so if you haven't figured it out, it should have been ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn(...); but you didn't include your code to confirm.

Great to see some work going on to improve the U-App. Nice updates, I hope to see them merged soon! For the retry, it's super-frustrating that if my screen locks and I open the phone back right to the u-app, it loses the connection to the cloud and issuing any relay commands time-out. I then have to...

= is an assignment not a comparison. So here you are trying to set a function to equal 0. = by itself is used to set the value of a variable int i = 4; for example. What you want is to use a comparison, is it equal to which is represented by == alternatively if you ever need, you can use != along wi...

CO2Control uses the regular PH probe as a default, but you can also use the expansion by passing an extra argument.

ReefAngel.CO2Control( Box1_Port7,750,770, true );

Yes, should be fine with the phExpansion.

Did you reboot after installing it? You could try it in a different port if any difference. Also the temp probes have a digital serial number and the order the probes appear is determined by that. So the new one wont' necessary be T2... You may also need to try one at a time. Either way, it isn't re...

DelayedOn only works after reboot, feeding mode or waterchange mode. What you want to do is set the relay override which you can do with ReefAngel.Relay.Override(Port7, false); That will turn the relay on definitively. However it won't go back on unless you do it manually or add additional logic to ...

Yes. The && is a way of sending AND. So if both conditions are true (number between and inclusive 10-85) then Port 7 will get set to true which will be on. If either of those conditions is not true, (if it's 86 or higher or 9 or less) then the port will get set to false which will then be of...

Ok, looks like I worked out all the kinks. I also discovered that when I was increasing my cal and alk, I was also increasing mag which I currently have disabled so I added a check that a supplement needs to be at least 1 before it's dosage get's increased. I fixed the delta issue and also another b...

It can also be voltage leaking from float switches. It's sometimes a very difficult issue to diagnose, but there is some component in the tank that is interfering.
