Hello,

I'm using DI-O wireless which is CHACON protocol (433Mhz).
Can we have CHACON also supported?
We can use :
- USB wireless key like : Transceiver USB Rfxcom
- 433Mhz RF link kit : http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/433Mhz ... p-127.html
- 433Mhz Wireless Serial Transceiver Module - 1 Kilometer : http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/433Mhz ... Path=19_22

Also some of ather maybe interested with EnOcean, X10, etc

Thanks

Any news, Roberto?

Yeap. I got a couple of them made and are available.
I also made one of the dimmable LED drivers and it is also working beautiful
I should have the RANet-ready Relay box in a couple weeks.

Any news on a dimming expansion?

I'm interested in the Relay box.

How much is the RANet Add-On and LED driver going to cost me?

Okay. I hate all the darn wires. Pm me how much for the relay box and RANet add on board. The wireless LED driver looks good.

Other ideas...
1. Wireless Dimming Expansion 8 or 16 port options.
2. Wireless Jebao Driver - could just plug in the pump power and tap into that for running the electronics.
3. Wireless Dosing Pumps - as in - on when wanted vs tying up an outlet on relay box/power control expansion.
4. RACam - just a nice little hd camera on a pcb for your tank. Maybe use one of those Spark Chips you ordered.

Roberto,

I tried to PM you for instruction. Not sure if they ever got to you. LMK.

Update 1054 : Still sitting in my Outbox......... This is how my day is going to go?

I have had the same problem when trying to PM Roberto, it just sits in my outbox for a while and then eventually goes thru.

It stays in outbox until I read it.

rimai wrote:It stays in outbox until I read it.

Yep, I am an unintelligent bass. I am used to vBulletin, this is phpBB. Feeling sheepish. Sorry for the 3 PM's filling up your inbox.

Info sent.

Also, just wondering - How much for a 16 channel Dimming expansion? Just want to start saving for the "next round" of purchases. My expansion hub feels lonely - no one to talk to sitting in the cupboard.

Late,
GC

PS - Like any of the/my ideas for RANet?

What is the distance on these? Like can I add on and control my frag tank in another room with the relays? Regardless it's a game changer for sure.. This will make the controller such a clean install.

Please Pm me the details, price of the add on and relays etc.. I may need start a sps sale thread to fund it since my tank is a little crowded at the moment =) ..

Yes
The wireless module we use is rated for 300ft clear range.

I updated the OP with a new video

Where?

Edit: nvm, doesnt show in tapatalk

Damn that is so cool. Can we get an IO module?

How is the RANet Relay Box code done? Just Like a standard relay expansion? Something else?
or something like
Already added lines/file for the Dimming Expansion based on this:

(Oh. Roberto. Is your very specific folder location in Post 6 my fault? He He )

Thank you in advance.

I just got mine today and haven't set it up yet, but from what I understand it is coded like a standard relay.

Thanks. I was thinking that since the dimming expansion is coded the same, the relay box might be as well.

I never looked (and likely couldn't tell anyway), but I guess the new file in the libraries folder is like a new organizational structure - if it sees code for a standard relay box, but doesn't have one on the "USB" port, it goes to the RANet board next. Makes me wonder if I had both a standard relay expansion, and the RANet relay expansion, which would be Box 1? That brings up another question - How many RANet Relay boxes can I have?

Let me know if it works for you the standard code way. I doubt I am going to try and test tonight.

Thanks,
GC

Roberto... Are you selling these to the masses? What's the price on the add on and relay?

There dip switches on the side of the RANet so you fill them to be relay expansion 1 or 2.
I may be wrong, but you are limited to the same # of relay expansions as normal, which is 8.

GiraffeCat wrote: That brings up another question - How many RANet Relay boxes can I have?

You can have 8 total expansion boxes. Mix/match of wired or wireless.
The wireless boxes have a dip switch on the side that you can use to set just like the expansion relay module.

I have been reading on this sight for long enough to know that there are several people that are usually not wrong.

Thank you for all your help.
Roberto, too.

When can we buy?

I believe you need to PM Roberto. He has some in, but has not put them in the store yet.
I got mine a couple of weeks ago, but have not hooked it up because I'm setting it up for my 90 gallon upgrade that I just started.

Any discussion of a remote temp probe? Would be great for keeping an eye on heater malfunction in the qt/frag tanks .

Or a remote Salinity probe for a mixing station. Also the ability to have 2 Salinity probes.

Yes a probe module would be nice

where are we with this project? Wondering if I should get a second RA or look in to this..

The remote relay and dimming expansion are the only things available right now.
I have the relay and it works great.
