Controller is set to turn heater on at 77° and off at 78° but it actually turns on at 79.1° and off at 79.9° according to temp sensor 1 (no other temp sensors plugged in). I dont mind the delta between the two but it seemed odd that the controller and sensor were off by a degree. Is this normal behavior? Is it something I can correct?

Can you post your code?

Looking at the code, it shows 79° and 80° but that isnt what is displayed on the actual controller when you go into the temp menu. Can that not be adjusted on the fly?

You're set to go on between 79 and 80... not 77 and 78...

ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port2,790,800 );

try:
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port2,770,780 );

If you want to set it on the fly, you need to generate a code with internal memory and not hard coded.

In which case

ReefAngel.StandardHeater(Port2);

Thanks; I didn't realize it had to be internal memory when you made adjustments from the controller, I thought that was only through the portal/app.
