I don't see the changes/commits in github.

I found the bug. It was a return call I had missed and it only happens at a very specific time. So, it was a matter of chance. It was returning without enabling the I2C bus again. Can you give it another try? I most certainly will but it will be on Tuesday when I get back to work (where tank is loc...

And as a side note, the uapp appears to not be working. I don't know if it's related to the code update or not (the changes should have no affect on the data being sent out). It shows me connected but no data is being updated. I tried from multiple computers and devices that have previously connect...

I just updated the code on my Star and here's my findings. If I press and hold the touchscreen for more than a second or so, the clock stops like you described BUT I notice that my salinity and water modules stop working. I can touch it again and nothing changes. I press and hold the touchscreen for...

Just to add to this, I have noticed the modules not responding as well. the outlets either do not toggle or the salinity and water expansion module stops responding. I did notice tonight that it happened when the screen timed out on the outlet / relay screen, i had connection / business issues. I ha...

Just to add to this, I think this issue is related to the I2C bus getting locked when the touchscreen is off and unlocks when the touchscreen is touched. https://github.com/reefangel/Libraries/issues/255 I added my comments to the issue from what I experienced last night. After I saw the post Robert...

I've noticed something like this as well. I added comments to the github issue.

First off, welcome! Secondly, what you are wanting to do is well within the limits of the basic setup (controller and relay box). there's no major "gotchas" that I'm aware of (believe me, I've done my fair share of testing over the last 8-9 years). you will need an ethernet cable run to th...

cool. that's an interesting idea of being able to daisy chain them.

I've got 3 RA Dosing pumps. I've noticed that they have power plugs on both sides of the device. On one side though, there's a power switch and the other side doesn't have one. My question is: Does the power switch control the power coming in to both ports or just to the side that its on? I'm guessi...

there is a timer for the lcd. it uses a memory location to adjust it. I forget what the default is for it. I know you can change the value, so you can look into it. not sure how much it will help though. if you look through the code, here's the variable/memory location for it: Mem_I_LCDTimer or if y...

well the relay/outlet appears to be working just fine currently. I've got it in the ON position and it's powering an analog heater control. so we shall see. i just don't understand what is going on with it controlling a heater. oh well, everything is working so I'm not going to press it currently. S...

I will do that. It will hopefully be in the next week or so before I can. I have to plan for the downtime to shutdown my tank to do that. No worries though. I think I'm having another issue with either the heater or another relay port on the box that I switched to using. Don't know for certain and h...

I've got a standard relay box module and I believe that I have an outlet that has failed (or is failing). The outlet is port 3 and I've used it for my heater. I switched to using a Star controller from a Plus controller last week and that's when the failure occurred. I originally thought it was the ...

of course it would be something that obvious and simple.

I've got a multi water level expansion module and I have a Star. For whatever reason, the star only shows the standard WL on the display and not the extra 4 ports (WL1 - WL4). I do not believe it's even sending the data out when requested (my app queries the /r99 and no values come through for the W...

I'm running my star (finally) and I'm having some issues with it. I've chosen to upload code manually using my computer and arduino (not webwizard). I can upload just fine. However, I've been having issues that the Star attempts to download firmware remotely and it fails. The odd thing is that I hav...

that thread contains a link to the version you need with the boards defined in it.

So my RA+ took a dump, got a new board. Is there anything I need to know before I reload everything from a backup? Also, if I decide a new cloud controller is in the works do I have to recode everything when switching from an RA+? if you jump up to the RA Star, there's a few things that you have to...

It's amazing...when you actually update the settings properly, it all works.
Got it figured out and I just needed to put in my username/password combo in that file and it started working.

awesome.
I just haven't kept up with it and didn't realize that there's been some major changes. Just haven't dove into it fully and I should.

ahh... gotcha. thanks!
is that file commented like the features file was/is?
I'll look through the code and see what all I need to update.

arduino ide. using the 1.8.6 mac version. haven't tried webwizard because I have additional code I am loading.

I'm having difficulty with getting my Star to connect to the cloud server. I've got my forum username and password setup and in the file. I had the webwizard generate the code for me so I know I have the proper header includes and proper syntax. I put in my username and password and clicked "En...

that's been my experience as well. yup, how the forum is designed.

awesome. glad to hear you got it figured out.

It is possible that the driver itself doesn't dim down that far. Over the years, many people have encountered problems with dimming the full range. So, your "0 to 100%", may be a more narrow range,which you will have to determine yourself by manually changing the percentage and figuring ou...

I have an idea or 2 but need some time to write it down.

You are just wanting to ramp up to 100% and back down multiple times and not be related to the seasonal temperatures, correct?

I was curious how the app decides to post that message and had an idea... maybe it's stupid? Prior to posting the notification could you ping 8.8.8.8 and hold off posting the notification for x amount of time if 8.8.8.8 doesn't respond? That way the app knows it can't connect to the controller beca...
