Any update on this? This was one of the biggest selling points for me to upgrade to the Star, and it appears to be dead in the water.

Check the USB cable. I had some bus lock problems I pinned down to my water level expansion module. I discovered slightly moving the usb cable connector where it plugged into my expansion hub would create or fix the bus lock. I changed cables and so far, no more bus locks not even with wiggling the ...

No dice. I'll have to contact support.

Are you using the little short usb to usb cable? It plugs into the side of the wifi module. I had to connect the module before I started the webwizard application.Mine is on comport 4. I tried two cables but same thing. I probably had Webwizard open, but my module seemed to be getting no power as t...

Ok, need some help. I've tried two USB cables, and I can't load the new firmware. When I plug into the USB cable coming from the PC, I'm not getting any lights (most of the time, sometimes I get a blue light after it has been connected a while). Either way (light it no light), I get the message that...

Correction, it can't find the device on port 6.

Perfect. Thanks!

I've split my RO reservoir line to run to my kalk stirrer and directly to the sump. I've also installed a solenoid on the line running to the sump. When pH is "high" I want to turn on the solenoid, allowing RO to flow directly to the sump. When pH is "low", I want to turn the sol...

I found the cause... if you insert the probe all the way into the probe holder to where the probe's adapter is resting on the holder (e.g. as far as the probe will go in the probe holder), the reading plummets, leveling off at around 1.42. If you only insert the bottom inch or so of the probe, the r...

I re-calibrated my pH probe today and when I put back into the tank, I got a reading of 2.something. I was in a hurry and figured I screwed something up so re-did the calibration a short time later. The second go-round, I didn't pay attention to the Uapp readings when calibrating 7.0 but when I was ...

Thanks guys! I'll dig into this.

I think it is because you are using ATO function on two ports and one is affecting the other because one is causing the ATO timeout and the other can't activate because it has the flag on. I would suggest using only one ATO function. I changed that and reloaded, and all is well. What I originally p...

Maybe I don't understand the parameters set with the Water Level sensor using as an ATO. It appears that at least sometimes, the only way I'm able to engage the low level is to clear ATO Timeout (no "timeout has occurred). I'm assuming low level should engage (start filling) when my low level p...

You can plug the usb-ttl cable to the controller and control it with serial commands. You can create your own code to implement the relay on/off that you want. The critical situation was that I had no Wifi, and that is now resolved. However, it will happen again, and I need to be prepared. I tried ...

rimai wrote:You can if you create your menu.
Search for custom menu.

Ok. So other than Bluetooth and a custom menu, is there a way to access relays with a direct connection?

I have a couple of basic but important questions: 1. Can you turn relays on/off/auto with the controller? I was lookong and don't see how. I see the list of relays and the state they are in but don't see how to access them. 2. I had to reset my modem and now my Cloud Wifi goes back and forth between...

Update: I might have found the culprit. My ATO reservoir is a clear, plastic 11.75 gallon dog food container (I probably have 9-10 gallons of RO in the container. The container flexes with the weight of the water. Furthermore, my sensor is mounted on a long wall of the container, which is bowed-out ...

What happens if you use the other channels? I haven't tried moving to another channel/port on the Expansion module. It takes two people to calibrate because the controller doesn't reach that side of the stand. The Uapp looks like it will calibrate, but I tried that function, and it didn't do anythi...

I setup my Multi-channel Water Level Expansion module on my new tank. Port 1 is for my ATO and so far has worked as well as I could have imagined. I've been watching it like a hawk, eyeballing the sump level and the reading. Heck, it works so well, it reminds me that I've turned my skimmer off becau...

Ok. When I had setup on the bench, the temperatures were very similar so it faked me into believing T2 was T1. I made the programming change, and all is good. Thanks!

I went live with my RA today and am working out some kinks. I've been running on the bench for a few weeks so I've gotten pretty familiar. No matter what, my long temperature probe wants to be T2, no matter which port it is plugged into and no matter which probe I plug in first (this just started). ...

I guess "Clear ATO" is resetting ports identified as "ATO" as opposed to doing something with the ATO code. Since my main pump is an always on relay (not a water level/ATO), the only way to reset is to reset the controller... makes sense.

The ! sign means not. When the float is not floating, it is active and when it is floating, it is not active. So, you should remove the ! sign when using it as low ciut off switch. I accidentally posted the first code that didn't work. The new code didn't work either, until I reset the controller. ...

Update: with the code below, clearing ATO doesn't reinstate Port 4 (main pump). Rebooting does reinstate Port 4, but moving the float to an inactive position doesn't reinstate (probably a good thing as when the main pump turns off, the sump level will rise, making inactive pretty quickly. It seems r...

I think you are past the point of using the wizard a long time ago :) You should just edit your code to accommodate what you need now. I think the best way is to use the waterlevelato function for the ATO and force it to off if there is a float trigger. Something like this: ReefAngel.WaterLevelATO(...

I want to use my float switches as a fail safe for my Water Level Expansion that will run my ATO. It looks like a simple If/Then Statement should do it, but "Is on" and "Is off" are grayed out, and I don't know what other option to use.

It is the correct voltage. I just don't know if the USB protocol from the tablet is going to interfere with the expansion protocol.
It may cause a bus lock. I never tried before.

Ahhh ok. Is a bus lock easy to clear?

rimai wrote:I wouldn't do that.
I don't think you have enough juice to charge it.

Would it hurt to try? If it is just a lack of power to where it won't keep up, and it dies then at least I know. I just don't want to harm anything.

I'm going to use a 7" tablet/pad as a display and want it lit and powered 24/7. It came with one of those USB plugs you plug a USB cable into and then you can plug into a normal 110v outlet. It would be a lot easier/cleaner to just plug my tablet into the Expansion Hub and have that power my di...
