Disregard... I had both plugged-in missing a pin... duh! Both are working now.

I added a second temperature probe (the long one). I removed the short probe from its port and then placed the new, longer probe in its port, wanting it to be Temp 1. I put the old probe (the short one) next to it. I now get 0 for both Temp 1 and Temp 2. I rebooted the controller and then removed po...

Good enough for me. Thanks!

By looking at the source code, it seems it won't work with negative offset because we declared the offset as byte, which does not allow for a negative number. https://github.com/reefangel/Libraries/blob/master/ReefAngel/ReefAngel.cpp#L1429 But it is very easy to create your own function. If you add...

I couldn't find a way so thought I would ask, is there a way to calibrate the temperature probe?

I don't see nothing wrong of using T5 as standardlights and fans as offset. I think it will work, it just complicates things. For instance, if I run my main LEDs 9a-9p (time set in Bluefish controller), I have to set my T5s in the center so I can offset my fans to match my LEDs. For instance, I cou...

/// LED lights: Port 1 - Always On (LEDs are controlled by a phone app). Lights on 9:00am, Lights off 9:00pm. /// T5's: Port 2 - Offset -180 minutes (-3 hours). Generates Lights on 12:00pm, Lights off 6:00pm. /// Fixture Fans: Port 3 - Time Schedule. Fans on 9:00am, Fans off 9:00pm (matches LED sch...

Thanks!

Yeah. StandardLights will use those settings. So just change them on uapp. Then, there is no need for internal memory file to be loaded. Ok, since I have the Internal File already loaded, I don't need to mess with that. Since the Webwizard doesn't offer any sort of offset as an option, I copied the...

Why do you need to load internal memory code? You really don't need one. One is already loaded before the controller is shipped. If you really want to load it, you can use the initial internal memory.ino that comes with the arduino IDE and copy/paste on the webwizard. Sorry, I'm not using the corre...

A few more questions: 1. I know the Webwizard doesn't load parameters to the controller. Does the Webwizard code generated as Internal Memory load to the controller? 2. If the Webwizard cannot load Internal Memory code to the controller, what code do I add in the Arduino Wizard to make the controlle...

Thanks guys! I got the two I'm starting with cemented and then added silicone around where the cap meets the coupler and where the tubing enters the cap. Before adding the silicone, I did a redneck pressure test by blowing into and sucking the open end of the PVC pipe, while covering the tubing with...

Do the orange fittings that hold the tubing need to be cemented into the pvc adapter? I know they are snug but am worried about them being airtight. I'm not sure what they are made of so I don't want to use pvc cement and then be sorry.

Yes, you can mix. The controller will follow whatever you instruct it to do, whether you save settings on internal memory, hard code them or both. The on/off/auto is whatever the controller is following from your code. Great! I've got a couple of options, and having access to what is really going o...

Ok so a few more questions: 1. Can you mix code used for internal memory with hard coded parameters? For example, could I have a line ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port2 ); in a sketch with a line ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port3,9,0,21,0 ); , thereby allowing me to hard code one port and have the other ...

Yeah when I set to 0 hours, I started getting several. That is fine because if I have high temp or high pH, I want it to pester the crap out of me. I guess where it falls short is with informational alerts. For instance, if I want to know every time my ATO pump engages, setting every hour would miss...

Ok...so would this work: /// LED lights: Port 1 - Always On (LEDs are controlled by a phone app). Lights on 9:00am, Lights off 9:00pm. /// T5's: Port 2 - Offset -180 minutes (-3 hours). Generates Lights on 12:00pm, Lights off 6:00pm. /// Fixture Fans: Port 3 - Time Schedule. Fans on 9:00am, Fans off...

Ok, it looks like it rounds to the nearest hour. I tried putting .1 in and it defaulted to 0 hours. The .5 I had entered defaulted to 1 hour. I'm not sure what the logic is, but I wonder if "send email" every so many x hours has something to do with it. I triggered my thresholds for quite ...

Yes... I finally got a pH alert... long after 5 minutes. I had my alerts set up for .5 hours. I'm going to shorten that and see what happens.

I've tried entering alerts in the Portal's Notifications, but I get no emails when they trigger. Is there another way to setup email alerts?

If they are all StandardLights , all of them are going to use those settings. In order to create your own function, you have to actually code your own function. Here is what the StandardLights function looks like in the background: https://github.com/reefangel/Libraries/blob/master/ReefAngel/ReefAn...

There is no way. You will need to either create your own function or hard code the settings. It will only have 1 schedule and 1 heater settings in the apps or portal. So if I alter the time setting in Uapp, which time setting does it really alter-- the one assigned to Port 2, the one assigned to Po...

Ok, I got the Internal Memory code posted and then went through the Arduino Wizard and added to Internal Memory. It doesn't update the parameters either, but it also doesn't include Cloud Wifi. I tried adding ReefAngel.CloudPortal(); to the void loop code, but it didn't recognize and wouldn't comple...

Ok, I copy/pasted that into Arduino, compiled and uploaded. I then created code to internal memory in Webwizard, generated, and loaded. I pretty much ended up where I started but I think I realize part of the error... I have to manually load the internal memory code, meaning I have to copy/paste fro...

I decided to move this to its own thread. I've run some code via the Webwizard, saving to internal memory. When I upload, the program compiles and tells me that it loaded. I'm using the USB-TTL cable, plugged into the first 6 pins, (starting from the right ), with the black wire plugged into the fir...

The ATO timeout is permanent until you clear it through the joystick or using any app. Ok so my idea won't work... at least not the way I envisioned. I guess I can either try to program it as a dosing pump or just let it run with a long enough timeout to where if triggered, there has to be a proble...

The controller will show whatever is in the memory. If you hard coded, I mentioned above that those settings will be ignored. It will use whatever your code instructed it to do. If you use internal memory settings, it will use those settings and they should match to what the portal and app settings...

Yes, the joystick changes the screen and changes parameters. The problem is, what shows doesn't match my code. It looks like some sort of defaults. For instance, the heater shows on-76.6 and off-77.0. However, in my code I put on-76 and off-80 for two separate heaters (planning to use the heater con...

Questions regarding Water Level ATO in the Wizard: 1. Clarification that the Timeout (sec) option shuts down the pump after running that many seconds. 2. Assuming #1 is correct, how long does that timeout last by default? I'm asking because I'm using a dosing pump, pulling water from my ATO reservoi...

can you post screen of what you are talking about the RA screen? I'm talking about the screen on the controller itself that looks about the size of a large postage stamp. For instance, the light on/off times don't match my code. There are several things in my code that don't show. I could take a pi...
