Does the droid app have functionality for ATO alarm or overheat alarm to actually indicate that it is in alarm?

I can clear it via the app but there is no indication IF it needs cleared.

Not currently. That functionality is possible with the latest version of the libraries but it's not implemented yet.

You do have the option to show ATO LOW and/or ATO HIGH status on the controller screen of the droid app. These will tell you if the float switch is activated (On) or not (Off).

What I do to check if ATO needs to be cleared is to check if the ATO relay switch is On or Off. If it's Off but the ATO LOW is On... then it needs to be cleared.

So today all of a sudden I was unable to update my Controller status on my app... I logged into the portal and was able to connect and receive updated information... I got home, via the local IP I can update the app... Via my external IP I cannot, whether connected to my home wifi or through 4G. I have restarted my phone, rebooted the controller, rebooted my router, verified my port forwarding and DHCP reservation (although the router doesnt seem to be the issue since I was always able to update via portal....

It seems like I am having an issue with the app specifically. Any ideas?

Hmm....what error was the app giving you? was it a timeout issue or a parser error? are you able to pull up the controller's internal web page (http://PUBLICIP:2000/wifi) from your phone on a web browser? i have noticed that sometimes the way the smart phones work, they are a little bit slower than our desktop/laptop companions.
If it is timing out with the connection, under the settings there is a section that you can adjust the timeout values and lengthen them. that "could" make a difference with your problems.

I've been using the App with no issues at all for about a month. I had increased the timeouts about two weeks ago to try to decrease the frequency of timeouts occurring...

Also, I just got an email from reeftronics. it is not getting a response from my Wifi either, they stopped logging so it is not just the app... very strange.....

Definitely not the App... My IP changed... which is weird, it typically changes two or 3 times max a year... and it just changed a month and a half ago... strange.. Maybe I need to figure out a good dyn DNS service

Yes, I believe it should be possible. I can add it to my list of things to work on.

actually yes. I have looked into it a little but haven't had the chance or time to make the switch. I am also in the process of removing the usage of the 2 external library dependencies. :-)

no. I'm still planning on keeping it in the 2.3 version. if I recall, I can still do that by using the compat libraries.

It has something to do with the URL. It can come from the controller terminating the connection too quickly or there was an input/output error reading from the controller.

Theres a flush buffer or something that you should make sure is big enough. I forget the parameter but that took care of it when it was affecting the iphone app.

Is odd because I get it, then it refresh and then connection is fine. So that can be fixed on my controller side of app side?

i get it at times too. try setting the error refresh to 2 or 3 and have the retry interval to 5 or 10 seconds.

Hi,

what a great app! Many many thanks for it. I'm using it with an old android phone as a "remote" for the RA mounted directly on the wall behind my tank. Today I've found the notifications in your app, another great thing. I was wondering if one could setup the ringtone for the notifications to be continous? So it would be a nice replacement for the buzzer.

cheers,
Christian

I'm not sure if I could set that feature up. I will have to look into continuous notification sounds and see what all it requires.

Just because you aren't busy enough. :D

I would love to see a re-design of the relay pages so they were more like the commands page. I.e., big square buttons.

Thanks,

Short of deleting the app, and starting over. How can I get the expansion Relay deleted off the main page?
I have disabled it in the settings page. As soon as I go back to the main screen and flip the pages, it is still there!

make sure you uncheck "auto update modules".
