How to get Lights on/off on RA controller?

[Express Reef]

Good Day All,

I`m new and I know zero about coding? Any advice how i can teach myself to code? I want to have the function Lights on/off on my RA controller. via the Head unit... how do I do it??? Still dont get my wifi to work but i need a rooter to get it to work...

The easiest way is to add the standard menu in the setup() section of your code.

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.AddStandardMenu();

I dont know how to do it... is there not an easier way??? This whole code thing is too difficult for me... no program or app that can do the coding???

Use the wizard:

The preloaded code does that too.
Have you played around with the preloaded code yet?

The standard RA doesn't have enough memory to have both wifi and standard menu, so you will need to pick one or the other.
The other solution is to upgrade to RA+.

I Just took out the following
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( MoonPhase() );
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( MoonPhase() );

How Can I edit the default menue?

Hi Roberto,

What can be wrong? When I select Lights Off on my RA Controller nothing happens???

[rimai]

Lights off can be misleading
It doesn't mean turn lights off when it is on. It means cancel the turn on mode.
So, if you use the lights on to override it on, the lights off simply cancels that mode.
