Multiple scheduled outlet times

[Spotted]

I am moving my programming to the internal memory. I would like to set up different scheduled times for certain lights and power heads.
Is it possible to have 2 different scheduled times? I have been using the Wizard, but it only allows for 1 time for what it calls the light schedule.
I want to shut off my power heads at 10 PM and turn on turf scrubber LEDs at 6 PM, also I want them both to turn back on at different times as well.
Is this possible?
I also want one more thing. Is it possible to turn on Nutrient Mode for my Jebao power heads once Feeding Mode has ended?

Can I do a mix of standard lights in the memory locations and manually code in the other times?

[rimai]

Yes, you can do that.
Do you use android app?
You can use StandardLights and MHLights.
They use 2 different schedules, but the memory locations for MHLights are only available on the android app or you would have to use direct HTTP calls to the controller.

[Spotted]

I do use the android app and I think I would be lost without it!! I totally love it!

[Spotted]

I understand that if I put the times in the code, I can't change it without recoding. If I put the times in the internal memory then I can change them from the app, is this correct?
I only need to occasionally change one set of times maybe from time to time.

Also I can set delay ports in the code too, like I would with lighting times? I have 2 different delay times one for the return pump to come on 2 minutes and another for the skimmer to come on after 5 minutes.

How would I define which port is used for the MHLights and which for the StandardLights if I wanted to go all internal memory?
Sorry, I have no coding skills, I am a home theater installer. Ask me to hang your TV or put speakers in your ceiling, I'm all over that!!

[rimai]

You can use:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardLights(Port1);
ReefAngel.MHLights(Port2);

The delay timer is only one though.

[Spotted]

Ok, so I have set up internal memory stuff.. I'm having a little trouble with an aqualifter that I want to come on every hour for 15 minutes. Right now it seems to stay on all the time.
Here is the code I'm using for it. Can you let me know if this is correct?

Code: Select all

 
    if (now()%3600<900)
    { //Every 60 minutes
    ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port3); // Turn on Aqualifter for 15 minutes
    }

I was also wondering if I could get the aqualifter to kick on for a few minutes after feeding mode ends. The lifter is used to clear air out of an overflow.

Here's my whole code just in case

Add an off statement before or an else statement as part of the if.

[lnevo]

Another way to do it is this

ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Box1_Port3, now()%3600<900);

Then you dont need any if statement because your setting the relay state on/off based on the result of your expression true/false.

[Spotted]

So replace all of this

Code: Select all

 
    if (now()%3600<900)
    { //Every 60 minutes
    ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port3); // Turn on Aqualifter for 15 minutes
    }

with this?

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Box1_Port3, now()%3600<900);

[Spotted]

The other way with the else statement would look like this?

Code: Select all

 
    if (now()%3600<900)
    { //Every 60 minutes
    ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port3); 
    }
    } else {
    ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port3); 
    }

I'm trying to learn how to properly use the if/else statement.

[lnevo]

Like this:

Code: Select all

 
    if (now()%3600<900)
    { //Every 60 minutes
    ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port3); 
    } else {
    ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port3); 
    }

you had an extra }

[Spotted]

Yes
I see it, the line above the else line right?

So how about this? This looks a lot less complicated than the if else argument,.

So replace all of this

Code: Select all

 
    if (now()%3600<900)
    { //Every 60 minutes
    ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port3); // Turn on Aqualifter for 15 minutes
    }

with this?

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Box1_Port3, now()%3600<900);

[lnevo]

Yes and yes

[Spotted]

I'm happy, my code is coming along.
Next project. Is there a way to get the power heads to go into Nutrient Transport mode after a feeding?
Can I modify this to work?

Code: Select all

    if ((now()%SECS_PER_DAY==31320)) //if it is 8:42 AM
    {ReefAngel.FeedingModeStart();}

Just change the times to coincide with the automated feeding?

[lnevo]

If you're good at reading code you should try and look through my INO. I know mine is a bit complex so I'll try and simplify the request here for you:

Code: Select all

  int ntmDelay=300; // Time to wait before starting Nutrient Transport
  int ntmTime=7200; // Time to run Nutrient Transport
  static time_t t;

  if (now()-t > ntmDelay && now()-t < ntmTime+ntmDelay) {
    ReefAngel.DCPump.Mode=NutrientTransport; 
  }
  
  if (ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE) {
    t=now(); // Run post feeding mode when this counter stops 
  }

[Spotted]

Ok, I don't think I'm going to use the NT mode after feeding. I might schedule it at a certain time of the day instead.
I have another request. I have the 12V power thingy I want to use to run a couple of water solenoid valves. I understand that it shows up as another relay box. I understand that I need to write it in the code as follows to turn ports on and off.

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box2_Port3);

Thing is I will only be using them right now as manual ports to refill my ATO reservoir and water change barrels. How do I make them accessible in the app?

[lnevo]

They should show up once activated. If you don't already have a relay expansion, it should be Box1 rather than Box2.

[Spotted]

I do have another relay. I have 2 regular relay boxes and then the 12 volt power expansion. How would I activate it? Just plug it in to the system and it adds another set of relays in the app?

[lnevo]

Reference it in the code, then compile and upload and it should be recognized.

[Spotted]

I'm sorry, I am not sure how to reference it in the code. I'm not a coder. I'm a home theater installer.. Sorry...

[Spotted]

Actually I think I understand. I could just reference them as off in the code and then I will get the ability to control them in the app right? Something like this?

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box3_Port1);
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box3_Port2);

Is this right?

[Spotted]

No, It should be

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box2_Port1);
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box2_Port2);

Box2 not Box3, yes?

I got a Main Relay (Box), Expansion Relay(Box1), and the Power Control Module(Box2)

Yes?

[lnevo]

Yes
