skimmer on time schedule

[Reefology]

Hi, I'd like to experiment with having my skimmer on a reverse daylight schedule and think I have to add the line below to void loop section.

ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5,23,0,13,0 );//Protein skimmer on 11pm, off 1pm

my question is, can I control schedule from the portal? And if so, what code do I need?

thanks

Use this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5 );

[Reefology]

can I then control that port via the portal?

[rimai]

Yeap

[Reefology]

Awesome thanks

[Reefology]

actually changed port 4 and 5 but I can't find them in the portal?

[rimai]

You need to change the internal memory settings.

[Reefology]

how do I do that?

[rimai]

Go to the portal and click internal memory

[Reefology]

only gives me an option to adjust daylight schedule which I don't want to change. looking to adjust skimmer schedule.

thanks

You are using standard lights. That is the one.

[Reefology]

I need that for my lights. what if I want to have a schedule for my skimmer? would the code in my first post work?

[rimai]

Are you using internal memory code for your lights too?
Can you post your entire code?
The code in the first post works, but you won't be able to change on the portal.

[Reefology]

so like this in port 4 and 5?

Code: Select all

void loop()
{
    ReefAngel.ActinicLights( Port1 );
    ReefAngel.DayLights( Port2 );
    ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port3 );
    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port4,23,0,13,0 );//Protein skimmer on 11pm, off 1pm
    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5,2,0,19,0 );//Moomlights 2am-7pm
    ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat1( Port6 );
    ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat2( Port7 );
    ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat3( Port8 );
    ReefAngel.PWM.DaylightPWMParabola();
    ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true;
    ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = None;//no pump=None, pump=AntiSync
    ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = Sync;

Ahh. now it makes sense.
So, there is no way to use the portal to adjust a second schedule.
You can do it with the android app or issuing web commands though.
