Request: Updated web banner

I'd like to request a couple things of my web banner that I use most often:
http://www.reefangel.com/status/image_s ... d=wolfpack
1. Time to show as PST.
2. Ability to change temperature labels. I know we can change the relay labels, why can't the temp labels change? For instance, I have mine setup as Water temp, Cabinet temp, and Room temp. But it shows as Water, Lights, Room.
3. I'm not sure whether or not it does this already, but if it doesn't.... I'd like the banner to show the 8 additional relays when I add the expansion module.

Already possible, but only on style 2 banner
1. Just add &time=x, where x is the offset from UTC time (Greenwich time)
So, for PST it's -8 and PDT is -7
http://www.reefangel.com/status/image_s ... ck&time=-7
2. Not sure how you setup your web banner settings on your PDE, but this is already possible too.
The string you send to the server has to contain:
&t1n=Water&t2n=Room&t3n=Not%20Used
3. The standard libraries do not have anything implemented for this yet. We don't even have a design made yet. Can you design one and I'll create the banner style code?

Thanks for the response Roberto.
1. I remember you sent me that banner for PST before. Sorry to be repetitive, I do appreciate your efforts. I just like the other display a little better... don't ask me why... maybe it's just more asthetically appealing. How come only that one is able to produce PST? Is it just a coding thing? I'm sure you've been busy, so don't feel rushed to implement this, just wondering.
2. My web banner is pushed from Dave's client. He was saying it's something with the server or website that he can't change it. I know he was working on implementing the change in the new client version... which I hope comes out soon, I am anxious! Can I just change something in my
3. I will definately help come up with another web banner! Is there a certain format? Just a graphic? Or is it some kind of complicated coding?

Dave is working on the ability to change the labels of the temperature probes from the Client. I know if you use the Controller to handle the web banner (and not use the Client at all), then you do have the option to change the names/labels of the Temperature probes on the banner.

what do you think of push on the webbanner also the ATOTimeout Alarm and the value of the PWM ?
For the ATO Alarm we can colorize of red the led of the ATO Relay ....
Example:

I created the Style 3 web banner.

To have the new data showing up, you have to append the string you send to the reefangel.com server with the following:
relaydata1 through relaydata8 - value that contains the status of the relays for the expansion boxes
r11n through r18n - names for the expansion relay box #1
.
.
.
r81n through r88n - names for the expansion relay box #8

Very cool. Just to let everybody know, this will probably not be inside RAGen for a little while. You can still add it in to the PDE after it is generated by RAGen, but the ability for RAGen to include it automatically for you will be available yet.

How do I make it so that I can actually see the status of the expansion relays? I am using the client and I included these codes to test out relay 14:
It does turn on the pump, but I don't see the banner.

The dev libraries already include statements for the expansion relays in ReefAngel_Globals.h. The one for you is:
So you didn't need to create your own, but it won't hurt anything at all. Just letting you know.

good to know, thanks Curt! I'll keep an eye out for an easier way to broadcast the info from the relays.
