The password is unencrypted correct?

Yes that is correct.

I did the factory reset but after entering the wifi and cloud credentials the hub led still blinks magenta.

Yeah. I have hit the ap reset button many times over the past week trying to see if I could get the hub to connect. It may have updated then and i didn't notice, but the led isn't turning yellow now when I hit the button.

Clicking on AP reset causes the hub to blink blue to begin the process to assign the ssid and cloud username and password. Once these are set and saved the hub goes back to blinking magenta.

I don't see the pin hole that you're referring to. I've attached an image of my board. Thanks

I didn't realize that there was and update for this hub. This should be the last device shown on the webwizard correct? I'll give that a try later today. Thanks for all the updates to the ReefAngel system.

Hi I have a wifi expansion hub but am having issues connecting it to the RA cloud. When setting up the expansion hub I use the same setup as the wifi attachment using 192.168.4.1 to setup the wifi and RA cloud login. However once I click save I only get a blinking magenta led meaning it's trying to ...

Yeah I can get updates from the Android Uapp app, but when using the browser version I can't get any updates. How would I fix the mqtt connection?

Thanks.

Just saw the message in the inbox. Thanks. I'll try that later tonight.

I'm having issues getting the Uapp 3 to update. I've entered the required information in the controller setup. On the status page it says Cloud:Connected; Last Updated:Never; Current Mode: Nominal. Anyone know how to get the Uapp to update with the latest data?

Thanks

I had to disconnect the power for a minute on the controller. Plugged it back in and looks like its working now.

Checked it and looks clean.

Hi.

I'm having some issues with getting an IP address assigned on the RA*. I have tried to change the Ethernet cable and switch but not really getting a connection for some reason. Possibly a faulty Ethernet port? Anything else I could check?

Thanks,
Tim

Tried what you suggested and found the bad temperature sensor. Everything is working normally now.

Thanks.
Tim

Ok. Will try that later today.

Thanks
Roberto.

Hi. All of my temperature sensors on the RA* are suddenly reading zeros. I tried to reboot and reflash firmware but still no response from any of the temperature sensors. I have one temperature sensor sitting in air to read room temperature so I'm not sure why that would go bad, the other 2 are subm...

I switched the AQLink over to the dimming expansion on the cloud hub and the Kessils to the second dimming expansion attached to the RA*. No bus locks as of yet so it's looking very good!! The DC return pumps I'm guessing are the culprits to most of my buslock issues in the past. Thanks again for yo...

Yes, I can give that a try later tonight when I get home. The kessil uses 2 channels so if the AQLink works I may end up moving both channels to the RA*. Using 2 dimming expansions is okay on the RA*? One on a cloud hub and one directly connected to the RA*. I have all these USB cables tangled, goin...

I only need one channel for the AQLink to vary the speed. The second channel is for reverse spinning the pump and I can leave that unhooked if needed.

I'll have to try connecting the salinity probe and pH expansion again to the cloud hub to see if I can get some readings from the RA*. Tried a few time but only got 0.00 on the pH exp, and 6.00 on the salinity. Also when the RF expansion connects to the cloud hub the input value seems to go from int...

No. Just using 2 of the regular 6 channel ones

Roberto, The AQLink creates a buslock even if it's the only unit connected to the dimming module and head unit. Would the AQLink be drawing too much power from the dimming module to cause the buslock? Would a second wifi hub fix the connection between a AQLink and RA? Also found that the salinity pr...

True there a lot of different dosers out there. A controllable dosing expansion relay with it's own fail safe would be pretty cool. You can count me in for one.

I think that the majority of aquarist prefer to dose by hand since a small error or equipment outage can destroy years of work put in a tank. Dosing pumps aren't the most accurate and need to be checked. So if you're only dosing a couple of chemicals once a day most would just do it all at once rath...

Pictures of my breakout relay delay box. For these time delay relay you will need the electrical connection adapter to mount the relay. An outlet from the RA Expansion runs through the top of the box an connects to pin 2&7. Pins 3&7 run down to a female plug adapter. Pin 1&2 are the trig...

They should have 12V DC versions also if you go that route.

I'm not sure how your DC module works but if its reliant on the power expansion relays to power on and off at certain times then the time delay relay should work. The power expansion relay will supply power to the time delay relay which would supply power to your DC module. The time delay relay has ...

I use a time delay relay as a failsafe for any type of dosing especially if it's a concentrated solution. These will be independent of any controller to create a maximum time a relay can be switched on. Roberto pointed me to https://www.ebay.com/p/16012060306?iid=381936974053 previously but there ar...
