Reef Angel Forum

Hi
would like to use a reef angel in my reptile cages
could the reef angel do the following thing or do I need a plus

3 temp probes
control 3 misters
control actuator
I know I will need a Reef Angel I/o Expansion

my plans when its warm actuator will lift the roof off
and when it get very hot the misters will go on
I have 3 cage in 1 so I need 3 temp probes and 3 misters
would think is will work
thanks
Matthew

RA+. You probably could use a standard RA, but the memory is limited and you'd be limited to old libraries. It would be fairly frustrating in the long run.

Why are you thinking you'd need the I/O expansion?

I thought I need a I/O box to connect the switch to turn on the mister and actuator

Do you think there is a better solution

thanks

You could just plug their power supplies into the relay box and turn on the appropriate relays when temps are reached.

was thinking of doing this same thing.

Hi
I have been researching actuator
the one that I want to use, use a switch to raise the actuator and another switch to lower the actuator
That's they I thought I need a I/O to do the switching can the reef angel to this
thanks

Can you post a link to the actuator?
