Re: MQTT integration with Home Assistant

I setup the connection with username and password already. I assume that's what you mean by login? Or am I supposed to send a command after establishing the initial connect?

Re: MQTT integration with Home Assistant

thanks for the reply Roberto. Any idea why even when listening to topic "wolfpack" or "wolfpack" or "wolfpack/out" or "wolfpack/in" I see nothing coming through? I also checked MQTT Explorer and see no topic structure after connecting. I am definitely new at t...

MQTT integration with Home Assistant

I'm trying to bring my systems under the Home Assistant umbrella. First, let me say I am really new at this still. I was messing around with the MQTT feed from cloud.reefangel.com using port 1883 and my username/password for the forum. It connected (success!) but even in MQTT Explorer it shows no ac...

Re: Redundant ATOs

Thanks Roberto. That works, however, problem: Whenever the HighATO is trips (IsActive), it'll shut off the Relay and the Relay won't turn on again until !ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive() and then ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive(). Functionally speaking: In my configuration, when water is lower than both HighAT...

Redundant ATOs

I want to have both of my ATOs hanging down and be redundant. So essentially, if low ATO and high ATO are BOTH "active" or in the bottom gravity position. I want to add the ATO Timeout so when I run out of water, it won't keep running the ATO aqualifter pump forever and I'll get an alert. ...

Re: Struggles getting started with RA Star

Roberto, thanks for all the assistance on the side in getting this figured out. It ended up being a combination of no instructions and my laptop not showing the USB COM port. I recommend adding something to suggest first upload will occur over COM and to open web wizard from the bottom right tasks v...

Re: Struggles getting started with RA Star

I did the upload again with the web wizard. This time I selected to put memory settings in code. I don't know if it really uploads as nothing looks different. The red status light is now green, but still non-responsive touch screen. This is a touch screen, right? :-/ And none of the outlets turned o...

Struggles getting started with RA Star

First, I love this community. I had a RA and RA Plus but then had a child and stepped away from the hobby completely. We're starting a planted tank and I love controllers, so I bought an RA Star. Well, it's not as easy as I thought it would be to start and I'd love some assistance. I plugged things ...

Re: wifi sends, but will not receive

thanks for the inputs. It as that my wifi attachment changed ip addresses and so my port forwarding wasn't matched up. I'll have to reassign it to a static address... oy!

Thanks!!

wifi sends, but will not receive

I apologize if this has been discussed before, I didn't find that thread. This controller has been setup for about 2 months. It worked great for the first month. I then went off for my 5 weeks away from my tank (luckily only 3 hours north) and it stopped working after about 3 days. Well, it managed ...

Re: ATO float switch mount?

I've never fully trust magnets... especially since my vortech seems to always fall off when I go on vacation.

For auto top off, I'd recommend either making your own or picking up something from http://autotopoff.com/misc/

Re: WIFI inop

So I had someone reset my router and the wifi module (I am away from home). It's updating every 3-5 minutes, but still says Connection Status: Unreachable Address . So essentially, it's a one way thing. And the android app won't connect. Any ideas? I am heading home in two weeks for the weekend so I...
