Reef Angel Forum

Well there is motivation to upgrade. Im currently using an RA+ And the basic wifi attachment. The RA* looks very nice.

Anyone want to buy an RA+ with wifi? Lol

So I have recently started using home assistant for a lot of home automation things. I like that it is open sourced and you can have it do just about anything you want (kind of like reef angel). This got me thinking though. What if there was a way for me to see the status of all my reef angel parame...

Yeah the pump shut off just a few minutes ago this morning. So I'm guessing it shut off while in long pulse mode and the speed got a bit too low. Admittedly I just borrowed that code for the pumps from someone else so I don't fully understand the workings of it. Also the ! would have never thought o...

I figured that might be the skimmer issue. I'll give it a shot. I wanted to code it to turn it off if not active because that made more sense in my head but I could not find the appropriate coding in order to do that. I only found the statement IsActive()) I think the pump is shutting off at night a...

There are two issues I'm having with my code right now. The first one is that I have a delayed start command in my code, but for some reason anytime I go into feeding mode my skimmer on port 7 starts up immediately instead of waiting for two minutes. The next issue is with the WP10 I have on the day...

Alright it is working now with the single channel water level expansion module so all is well currently.

I will try swapping things out first. I am headed out of town for a few days right now so I will try that when I get back.

Thanks

This is a new reef angel. It operates properly without the expansion plugged in. However, when I plug the expansion in the status light continuously blinks and none of the ports work. I also get no readings when I try and calibrate the water level module. The water level expansion worked on the reef...

Ah. Thought maybe you had a secret I couldn't figure out. Thanks for the responses though.
Curt, fantastic app all around don't think I could live without it. Hopefully you'll get that working in the near future.

Nope. Still don't see the water levels in portal.

Hmmm, my app is trying to read it as if I still have just the single channel expansion (which I have removed to use on a different tank) so it keeps thinking my water level is 0. Which is annoying because I have an alert programmed to tell me when my water level is low. I just found out about the po...

Steve,

Where are you finding these additional water level sensors? I just installed my multi channel expansion and do not see anywhere to select additional water levels?

Yes that is actually what I wanted it to do. Currently I have to quit water change mode manually and usually I have to reset my ATO timeout as well. I would like to find a way for it to quit WC mode automatically after the water change.

Nope, once port 2 turns off I'm done with my water change.

So I am a bit stumped on how to add a timeout on the water change mode. I would like for it to do something similar to what happens when I push the feeding mode button. It just stays in that mode for the duration of the timer then exits after the timer expires.

Just to let you know. I finally had a chance to test the water change coding and it works like a charm for anyone else who might be interested in using it! My ATO pump has to run for almost 20 minutes to get the water level back up but it works great. Now I need to research a command that will autom...

I can be the guinea pig on that one. It makes sense from reading it. Is my coding correct in my post above for using the float switches as low water level indicators for my reservoirs? I just want to make sure that having the float switches plugged in doesn't try and override the water level module ...

Well the code I just posted there was my best guess at how to code the float switches to simply turn certain components off if the water level was low in the reservoirs. The water change would be a completely different code. I would like to use the water level expansion for the water change. When I ...

ReefAngel.SingleATO(true,Port1,60,0);
if (ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1);
if (ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port2,5);

Something like that for the float switches?

Well I've got the ATO function working well now. Next step is to code an automatic water change using the water level expansion. I would like to have the system turn on a pump plugged into port 5 turn on when I select water change mode. Then have it drain my sump down to a defined level. Once that i...

Alright so I was thinking correctly. Currently I have ports available, I will stash that away for future reference though. Thanks again

Can anyone recommend a code for just running one WP40? Should I just set my relay (port5) to always on, then put one of the codes in the custom code section? I currently have the reefcrest code in there. May try the random mode code that Roberto posted though. Right now I have port 5 set to wavemake...

Wow, its really that simple? That would go in the custom coding section? A 30 second timeout would be fine, then I just have to find the appropriate percentages for the water level.

So I'm just getting my reef angel up and running on my new tank. I was able to use the wizard to get a few things basically set up. I have a very basic understanding of how the code works, I still have a lot to figure out before I feel like I could write anything. I figured a good place for me to st...
