Reef Angel Star Controller
Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
also the touch screen works intermittently, is there some bugs with this thing or am I doing something wrong?
Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Did you install the plugin?
Does it show plugin connected?
How did you loaded your code if there are no com ports listed?
Did you reset the password for the forum? Your username was created way before the cloud server came online. There is a note stating that you must reset or it won't authenticate you

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
I did install the plug in. It shows connected. I had com 3 once, now I don't. Cant get it to come back. I did reset the password. I'm lost with this star and thinking about hooking my plus back up. My screen is intermittent, sometimes won't even turn on when touched. My ports issuing the time on/off programming don't turn off, ever. I bought the TL wifi adapter, set it up as client and hooked a LAN cable between the two. Not sure what's wrong but frustrated. Any help, please and thank yourimai wrote:Did you install the plugin?

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Roberto, I moved the star over to my primary account. All is working fine. Will the Main Relay Box ever disappear from the portal?
Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
I have noticed that if the network connection is not available, there is a delay in the device responding to touchscreen touches and updating the display. I found this out when I was working on my firewall rules and a separate dhcp server. I haven't looked into it more closely, just mostly sharing with everyone.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
I did notice that as well maybe while its trying to get dhcp?

I was having this issue also. Turns out the connection between the head unit and relay box was loose and had to reinsert it. So double check that sure all connections are secure.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
up to 30 seconds or so (maybe a little less, not certain). then there would be a screen update for a second or 2 and then you would have the same no response to touches or display update.rimai wrote:How long was this delay?
i was testing it with a network link just no ip address yet or with an ip but traffic being stopped by firewall.
i have not tested this without a network connection. i have been too busy to try but will later today.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
I couldn't find an answer anywhere on this but if I buy the Star, would I be able to use my standard relay box from the Plus as an expansion?
So rather than the standard 8 I get with both systems, I could upgrade to the star and get 16.
May be shooting for the stars here but after this last hurricane I went through, I need to automate much more to ease my recovery time and effort

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
yes, however you will need the relay expansion module to turn the relay box into an expansion box.MDandD wrote:I couldn't find an answer anywhere on this but if I buy the Star, would I be able to use my standard relay box from the Plus as an expansion?

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Hello, I clicked this link to get this item but they no longer sell it? Can you recommend another one for wifi? And can you fix your link requirements for replies? Preventing me from posting based on your comment is not very friendly...rimai wrote:It does not have wifi.
We found that many users prefer to have hardwire and there is no such thing as wifi to ethernet, but there are many ethernet to wifi adapters. We have used with great results TP Link TL-WR710N, which serves dual purpose. The single device can provide power and wifi to your RA Star.

You should be good now.
You can get those on amazon.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
I checked amazon too and they too are out. That's why I wondered if there was an alternative?
Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Oh...
eBay it is then...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TP-Link-TL-WR71 ... Sw9KpW~XU8
I need to find another one. That module has been discontinued by the manufacturer, but basically any wifi to ethernet would work.
The good thing of this particular TP Link module is that it has both USB and ethernet ports and it has builtin wall plug, so with one device, you can power RA and also provide ethernet connectivity straight from the wall plug.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Hi guys!
Can you help me setup my new reef Angel star?
I used the manual to set it up but, when I try to upload it. I encounter error uploading 400.
P.S.
I was able to fix this, the wizard doesn't work on safari. We're able to fix it using chrome

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Just ordered my Star to replace my Plus.
Does the new controller allows me to plug an expansion relay box into it without the old expansion hub?
Was going to buy the hub to convert my old Plus relay box into an expansion but if its only a $70 difference to get an expansion box, I can sell my old Plus unit to cover the difference.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
You would need the old relay expansion hub to connect the an old relay box to the new Star.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Hey guys, it's been a long time!
Any change this controller can support 6 Temp Probes? Just logged in to see what was going on. A lot has gone on since I last logged in. 600gal display, dedicated filtration and prop room... Looking to control a breeding system that is composed of 6 individual tanks.
Thanks,
Mark

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
If you use the webwizard, simply add this to setup():
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.AddExtraTempProbes();

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Boy, you go away for a little while and the whole world changes!!!
I moved up to Orlando, sold my 55 gallon and have not been able to set up my 90 gallon yet because I don't have the money to pull up the carpeting and put down tile or waterproof laminate yet.
How much of my old equipment will work with the RA*?
This is what I remember I have.
RA +
Relay(original included)'
PH Probe
Standard ATO High and Low
Expansion Hub
Dimming Expansion
RANet and Relay
Water Level Expansion
Multi Water Level Expansion
Salinity Expansion
ATO Pump
WiFi module
Bluetooth module
3 Jebao Cables (WP-25, WP-40, DC-12000pump)
3 Temp Sensors
Dimmable Lunar Hub & 2 Moonlights
What is usable with the RA* and what is useless?
How has the code changed?
I was not good with coding, to begin with and have probably forgotten most of what I knew.
Can I continue to use what I have already?
Also, will there be a possibility of just getting the RA* head unit?
It can be seen here...

I hope to have the flooring in the room by Christmas and the tank set up and running by the beginning of the year.
Thanks;

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
You should be able to use pretty much everything except for the head unit and the wifi attachment.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
Thanks Roberto;
So I would need the Reef Angel Star Controller and the Cloud Wifi Attachment.
Do you have a rough idea when the Cloud attachment will be available?
Does the Cloud unit need to be used?
I work from home now and am pretty much here all the time to monitor the tank.
I thought I read that the Cloud WiFi is needed to use the older expansion units.
Maybe I was wrong.

Re: Reef Angel Star Controller
The Start controller comes with ethernet port, so you are all set for cloud connection.
The cloud wifi attachment is only meant to be used on the RA+.
The RA* has an expansion port too, so you can plug any expansion module to it the same way as you had on the RA+.
