ato started filling on new upload

[Smotz]

When I uploaded new code, the ATO started up and filling the tank.

I didn't like that.

Any way to avoid?

My ATO code:

Code: Select all

// Main Top Off
   ReefAngel.WaterLevelATO(1,Topoff,15,80,100);
// End Main Top Off

It should only come on for a second or so and then it will shut off if it doesn't need to be on.

Are you using the multi water level sensor?

[Smotz]

Yes, I am. I had to unplug the ato..

I was just curious. I hadn't seen code for the Multi water level sensor yet and I just got one that I'll be hooking up in a bit.
Does the Wizard support the Multi Water Sensors yet?

According to this thread a while back it didn't
http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.ph ... 040#p37040

So you're saying that the ATO come on after reboot and stays on?

It should come on for less than a second after reboot because the unit is reading the level at 0 at the very beginning.

Does the Portal or and app display the Water level correctly?

This is something Roberto created for someone else.

Code: Select all

if (ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel(1)>=20 && ReefAngel.WaterLevel.GetLevel(2)>=30)
 ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1);
else
 ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1);

Maybe you can modify that to work for you.

yes, multichannel water level works just fine with the android app.

No Curt I was asking Smotz if he is getting the correct reading for his Multi Level sensor on the Portal or his app.

If his sensor is reading 20 when it is actually 90 then then ATO is always going to want to be on.

No problem.

[Smotz]

Yes, the reading is correct. I uploaded code about 4 times since and it didn't happen...
I am wondering if by coincidence it was supposed go on right when it rebooted so it stayed on...

[Sacohen]

That's very possible, it's happened to mine.
Just keep an eye on it.

Yes! That is exactly what happened. Steve had the same thing for a while when he had his high/low too close together also. It would cause ato to stay on during reboots because the ato was on more frequently. All the outlets maintain there state when you reboot.

Lol, I need to be careful, then. I got my ATO plumbed to the basement in a 32g brute!

I extended the electrical from the RA to an external pump in the basement.

It's only gonna happen during a reboot for a few seconds...put an off statement in the setup could help reduce it slightly. The other thing you could do is widen the high/low threshold so it doesnt come on as frequently so you won't hit that random overlap as often and probably eliminate completely.

The other thing i would recommend especially with that much available water...is time limit the ATO to one, two, or a few times per day... Say perhaps 4pm-5pm. Late enough that if any issue you just home from work, but early enough that you probably wont be uploading code. Just as an idea...

Not a bad idea. Thanks, bud.
