lnevo wrote:Awesome... it should go faster now that you've had the initial review. Can't wait to see it. How much work will it be to add addtional relay modules now that the initial code is written? The last version required quite a bit of additional code which was ridiculous. Luckily it was a lot of copy/paste but something that easily should have been handled by arrays and what not.
It should but they never officially reviewed the app yet. They started to but stopped because they didn't have a video demonstrating the app in use and they also screwed up the host. I gave them a test host to use and they added an extra space to the host string and it screwed up the testing for them. They rejected the app because of that (which was their error that I didn't handle properly inside my code). So now I must wait for them to get to my app again. When it's finally released, the version will be the one in the initial post.

As for the additional relays, I'm not sure. I would like to think that it would be easy to add them but I don't know how to handle it yet. I'm still looking into finding ways to create reusable views. All examples that I find is to manually create each screen and not a lot of reused/repeated code. In android it's appears easier to reuse the code (which is what I am doing). I'm using a lot of code from my android project to keep this modular as well, however initially the relay is not modular and is all hand coded. I wanted to get an understanding first before I made things any harder.

This is frustrating, waiting for them to review the app. Can you not release a "beta" version that we can use until they finish their review? Once it is "approved", we could then download the "authorized" version.

If I have your device listed as a developer device linked to my account, you could load the apps that I built onto your device. I'm limited to 100 devices linked to my account.
Or I think you can sideload the apps if your device is jailbroken but I do not know for certain about this.

That's awesome news. Got it downloaded and running. Any idea when we will be able to control the RA from this APP?

i have controlling the ports on the main relay working. I would like to improve the ui and add in the changing of the modes (feeding, water change, lights on/off, overheat and ato clear) before I submit another release. there's still more that I have to learn about the navigation and changing screens before I can make it happen. I'm trying to learn from all my mistakes with the Android app thus making this app easier to maintain.... save myself some headaches :)
I'm getting there though.

Just installed it ... at least I can believe what I see on my phone now, thank you.
Looking forward to your next release ... it's not a panic anymore so take a breather!
Very much appreciated!

I liked how the old one had water change and feed mode options along with the toggling the different ports on and off as needed. Graphing of things like PH, salinity and temps would be neat but not needed. I use the app mainly to turn pumps and lights on and off during water changes and what not. I do have an old iPhone set up with previous app mounted on my tank to do these things now so no rush. Just wondering what the time frame was I know there's people who don't have an old phone to use and do the same thing I do. Thanks for all the effort your putting into this.

Wow
I installed and it works well.
Very easy to configure.
Congratulations for your good work.

I find a little issue, in app my Orp value is 47.7mv but in reality it's 477mv.

this is not a major problem. ;)

Thank you very much for this app.

Thanks for all the work Curt. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something here - v1.0 is sensor status only, no outlet status or control, feed mode, etc.?

Correct. I'm already working on the other stuff. I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I have the relay status control working but not the modes.

I do have a question to ask.....would people like to have this app built to run on iOS 6.1 or 6.0 as well?? Or is leaving it at iOS 7 and later ok? I think I should be able to make it run on iOS 6.1 or 6.0 pretty easily (just compile against that version). :?:

You may not use any features yet that need ios7 but why limit yourself. But if its just a matter of compiling...then why limit it. I think for the most part if someones on the old version of ios then they have the previous version to use as well...

Agreed. I believe it's just as simple as compiling against ios6 but I have to confirm. I will have to do some testing to find out for certain.
