Reef Angel Forum

ok, I got it to upload.

Had to add ReefAngel. to both the params and relay.on/off

Also, I am using the 2 dimmable moonlights. I have them set to moonphase, and so far they haven't changed from 15%. Any ideas why?

ok, I am getting some errors with the 2nd heater and temp probe code. Should I comment out the two heater lines the wizard generated? (basically there standardheater and standardheater2 lines are duplicated) When trying to upload I am getting the error msg: Params was not delcared in this scope Here...

Thanks for the clarification. No sense in making it complicated when I won't be really gaining anything.

But I couldn't make the front and back fixtures differ by one hour. Also, the moonlights and sump light wouldn't be how I want them.

If I use the 'In the code" settings option, can I use the internal memory via my phone app? I tried the Wizard with the Internal Memory selected and the time schedule options don't seem as flexible. For instance, I have 3 T5 light fixtures: With In the Code: center fixture = 10a-8p front fixtur...

Awesome, thank you for the code. I will try it later.

OK, I was thinking that if the temp was out of the range, heaters would be off. I will update it with new temp range.

What about the two heaters and temp probes?

OK, got my program loaded. I did the labeling for the Portal and got my 2nd relay there as well. One thing I noticed is that the heater ports are not on. I set them to be on from 60.0 and off at 77.6 on the code. But when I look at portal (or phone) the numbers are on from 76.6 and off at 77. I do h...

Found it.

Hope that's somewhere in a PDF that I skipped.

OK, I got my RA+ today. I got the Wifi Attachment hooked up with the Wifi Wizard, did the port forward and set static lease on the router. Next I tried to send the WifiTestCode to the RA. Error Uploading! I have tried a few times, unplugging the USB power cable and USB TTL cables from the head unit....

So that means if my internet is down I will not be able to use phone app to control RA?

So I placed my order last week and I am waiting for the shipment. I was thinking, could the RA trigger a Wifi enabled thermostat? There are a few different brands and models that are wifi, and a DIY thermostat (you build it yourself with their instructions and components) called Android Thermostat. ...

So if I want to extend the moonlight wire I need the dimming port lead wire? It looks its just a two wire part with the 2 pin connectors. How does anyone just get away with having 3 feet of wire when its connected to the relay box?

Red is optional if I decide to add water and dimming addons. I probably will wait to add those in the future. I would like to use the power outage code and keep the main relay on the UPS and have RA disable ports except a flow pump. Maybe delay it 30 seconds before shutting down ports so my return p...

Is there any RA configuration helper (besides Roberto) where you can input what you would like to setup and it will tell you what products to purchase? I will setup a diagram of what I would like to achieve so I can get everything I need on the first order.

Instead of trying something complicated with the length of hours variation with the stock moonlights I will get 2 of the dimmable moonlights. Hopefully there is enough spread, otherwise I would need to add more dimmable moonlights with the dimming module, correct? Also, I am thinking of using the wa...

Hoping patience will pay off

I know its from last year...but I hate buying things right before they go on sale.

And maybe this has something to do with sale?

All orders placed from 11/16 to 12/03 will be fulfilled starting on 12/04.

I mean rotate the pattern. So full moon would be 12hr or 100%. To do a simple breakdown, start at 100% - 75% 9hr - 50% 6hr - 25% 3hr - 0% 0hr - 25% 3hr - 50% 6hr - 75% 9hr - 100% 12hr Basically just turning the moonlights on/off at different times of the night. Is that more clear? I am just thinking...

Yeah, that's correct.

It would be something in between using the dimmable moon cycle and the moonlights on opposite of the daylight.
And I'd have to figure out the schedule so it would be rotated based the moon cycle.

Well the brightness would not change, just the duration of lights on versus complete darkness.

Sorry, I meant without a dimmable light.

I guess I should hold off on my order another 2 weeks...It's so tough to wait!

Could you briefly explain how to set a variable moonlight cycle? I didn't see anything on my search of the forums. I know I could set it for Monday on 10pm, Tuesday off at 3am. But how would I vary the light based on the cycle? Would it connect to the internet for the schedule, or would I have to ma...

Then I would need 3 of them...I'm thinking maybe I can just use the LED moonlights I have, and set them to go on/off and set the duration to the moon cycle. Could I do that? No dimming though.

Is one dimmable moonlight enough for this size tank? The 12 LED moonlights are spread across the length of the light fixture, holding 48" bulbs.

How does the moonlight attach? I can't see from the product image.

OK, so here is my list to buy and what I am planning on setting up. Please let me know if I should do anything else or add something I may have missed. RA+ PWM Relay Exp & Box Wifi Attach 2 additional Temp Probes (for a total of 3) Dimmable Moonlight Items to control Pump control Heater control ...

Hi, I am envious of you, I have been running a Red Sea Max 250 since August 2010 and have found it both a joy and frustration. I added the Reef Angel almost a year ago and have found it a great asset for automation, and also some peace of mind when I travel as I can log on and check things out. I u...

OK that will be perfect. If I remove the 1st & 3rd power strips I have almost 5" on either side of the lighting strip. I can leave the center power strip in to control the lights for the time being. Then add the extra relay box in the future if I want to change lights. Because I really don'...

What are the dimensions of the relay box?
