I forget how, but I remember there was a way to query relay status through the wifi adapter that came up in a long graphical display for each port. Is there a way to create custom/additional trends similiar to the ATO High & Low status with the client suite?

Client Suite
Re: Client Suite
Yeah, this seems to be a popular request. I was always hesitant to add it because I thought it wouldn't be entirely accurate and it was possible to miss entire On/Off events within the 15 second window that it takes to query the controller.
Also we don't know exactly when a relay toggled. Just that it happened within a 15 second timeframe. So the relay might have switched on for 4 seconds or 25 seconds. Currently, the best we can do on the Client is show it as 30 seconds. I just don't want to misrepresent anything that happened to your tank on screen. If you're expecting your doser to only pop on for 7 seconds and you see a 30 second event on the client..... Or maybe I just add it with the understanding that it's more of a 10,000 foot overview and it's possible for some things to be missed or the on/off times displayed aren't 100% accurate, rather just a quick snapshot of whats happening with your equipment. If people are cool with that, which it seems like they are, I wouldn't mind adding it.
The good news is, Roberto is no slouch and a better way of collecting this data is in the works. It might be possible for Curt to update his Relay On/Off functions in the libs so that when they fire - a snapshot of the controller's state is stored for us to retrieve later on.
^^ If that happens then, we will be able to display a very detailed and precise description of what's going on with your tank AND equipment throughout the day.

Re: Client Suite
Great idea! I agree with the accuracy issue, but the way you mentioned would be the best solution IMO since so many relays are switched on and off at various intervals/durations.dmolton wrote:The good news is, Roberto is no slouch and a better way of collecting this data is in the works.

Re: Client Suite
So you are saying that having the ATO logging isn't enough for you??? you want MORE?? Geesh, will you ever be happy.dmolton wrote: The good news is, Roberto is no slouch and a better way of collecting this data is in the works.
