skimmer on time schedule

Hi, I'd like to experiment with having my skimmer on a reverse daylight schedule and think I have to add the line below to void loop section.

ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5,23,0,13,0 );//Protein skimmer on 11pm, off 1pm

my question is, can I control schedule from the portal? And if so, what code do I need?

thanks

Use this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5 );

You need to change the internal memory settings.

You are using standard lights. That is the one.

Are you using internal memory code for your lights too?
Can you post your entire code?
The code in the first post works, but you won't be able to change on the portal.

so like this in port 4 and 5?

Code: Select all

void loop()
{
    ReefAngel.ActinicLights( Port1 );
    ReefAngel.DayLights( Port2 );
    ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port3 );
    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port4,23,0,13,0 );//Protein skimmer on 11pm, off 1pm
    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5,2,0,19,0 );//Moomlights 2am-7pm
    ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat1( Port6 );
    ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat2( Port7 );
    ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat3( Port8 );
    ReefAngel.PWM.DaylightPWMParabola();
    ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true;
    ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = None;//no pump=None, pump=AntiSync
    ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = Sync;

Ahh. now it makes sense.
So, there is no way to use the portal to adjust a second schedule.
You can do it with the android app or issuing web commands though.
