Relay Activity on Portal

[Junior Dabul]

ok...so do you think i have to use without space???? because if you say yes i have to chance my ID name at the portal.

if you say yes, .....any chance to change or do i have to create another one????

let me know

Thanks

[binder]

Just a thought about spaces, since it is web based, would the %20 work instead of a space? So you would do something like this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Portal("Junior%20Dabul");

Would that work? I think it would be worth a try at least.

Hi Curt....it looks kind of working now with the %20.

W am new in here and dont know much about it. when i access the banner it show the activity on both relays (one expansion) but at the portal page on dashboard and relay activity still showing only the standard relay and no data on relay activity.

Other thing is on dash board when i access i show on OFF and when i change for Auto it show if the port is on or off. is that right????

Cheers

I don't know much about the Portal and all the sections of it. I haven't used the Portal much at all and it's still relatively new. Roberto or somebody else will have to comment on this one.

Yes.

When you are looking at the relay status on the portal page (the same with the /wifi page on the controller), if it says ON or OFF, that means the port is overridden and forced ON or OFF. The port will not change automatically based on the code on the controller. When it's set to AUTO, the port is running on its normal schedule. The color will be RED for OFF and GREEN for ON.

I can no longer see my relay box 1 in the portal. Relay box 0 works fine but 1 is not there. I checked features.h, even ran the test utilities, and they work just fine on both boxes. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. I have libs 9.9

My second expansion box just turned up on the portal but not the labels are gone. Strange.

[rimai]

Please add this anywhere in your code:

Code: Select all

//Box1_

It's the new auto feature selection I developed that is kicking in.
There is no more such a thing as features file.
Anything you do to that file will just end up being modified by Arduino IDE.
It's looking for specific keywords to enable the expansion relay box.

[rossbryant1956]

it shows up in this line of code:

if (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE] >= 791) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port1);

is that good enough or do I need a

//box1

thx

[rossbryant1956]

also weird, look at the sig line...my labels are there but not on the portal and are not defined in the code.

[rimai]

it shows up in this line of code:

if (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE] >= 791) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port1);

//box1

That's good enough.
Do you have the Client running?

[rossbryant1956]

I did, but for some reason it has been acting very strange lately. Display looks weird, touch any commands get an exception error, etc. Not able to stop and start services, etc.

Went as far to uninstall and reinstall last night but no better. Is there something in this new code that client doesn't like?

[rimai]

Just make sure that you set the Client not to send parameter to reefangel.com
Or you will get issues in the Portal, similar to what you were mentioning.
Only one thing should send data. Either the controller or the Client.

[rossbryant1956]

got this all fixed...

How would I write an alert on the portal that sent an email (or sms) if port 8 (main pump) turned off. I would also like it to sound the buzzer currently looked to atohigh. thx

[rimai]

Currently, there is no way to do that, but I'll add to the list shortly.

[rimai]

Ok, so thinking about this one, what is that would cause Port 8 to turn off?

[rossbryant1956]

my float valve on the i/o connector that detected an overflow situation on the main tank. (that now works thanks to you!)

My overflow kit from Glass holes will sometimes get clogged and when it does it overfills the tank and it starts pouring out. I mounted a float valve close to it and now when it happens it will trigger the float valve and shut off the pump.

This will work if I can hear the buzzer. If not at home then the portal could warn me that port 8 just turned off, then I would have time to get home, look into it, etc.

thx

[rimai]

Oh, in this case it is simple.
You can use one of the custom variables.

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.CustomVar[0]=ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(0);
ReefAngel.CustomVar[7]=1;

Then, on the Portal, you can set a trigger to send you alerts when C0 = 0.

[rossbryant1956]

Thx Sir, I'll test it over the weekend.

[rossbryant1956]

ReefAngel.CustomVar[0]=ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(0);
ReefAngel.CustomVar[7]=1;

This is working fine...tell me again what custom var 7 is doing?

[rimai]

Same thing as your Box1_Port8 is doing.
Making sure it keeps something that is non zero to keep that feature alive
