Oh.... didn't see any mention of that in this thread. That stinks :(

Are there upgrade options from the RA+ to the RA*? I have everything but the head unit, I suppose.

We don't have it in the store, but I can probably work it out with you.
You will also need the old relay expansion module because the RA* only has expansion bus and doesn't have the svga connection.
Send me a PM.

It does work with the cloud attachment. Works fine for me. When I ask for pH I have to ask it as what is the pH temp?

Is this still supported after the server migration?

It's on the to do list for sure, but I don't believe it is working since the migration happened

Hi Piper, Alexa Control is now working please follow the instructions below to enable the skill.

To enable the Reef Angel Skill, open Alexa app, click the menu bar and select skills and games, then search "Reef Angel" you should see Reef Angel v2 pop up click that skill to enable and it will prompt you to login with your username and password.

Once added it will do a device discovery, and then you will be able to use voice control. Currently the only supported Parameters are Temp 1, Temp 2 Temp 3, pH, Salinity, ORP, pH Exp, Status Flags (Feeding Mode, Water Change Mode, Lights On Mode) Relay Expansion 1, and Relay Expansion 2. These may all show up in Alexa even if you don't have all these expansions.

The command structure is as follows.

Alexa What is [T1 Label] Temperature where t1 label is what you set in the Uapp for the Temp 1 Label.
For the Modes you will say, Alexa turn on Feeding Mode, or Turn on Water change mode, or Turn on lights on mode, For off you say Turn Off Feeding Mode, etc

For Relay Ports you have 3 commands On, Off and Auto. For Example for lets say Port 11 I named "Return Pump" in the Uapp, I will Say Alexa Turn Return Pump On, Or Turn Return Pump Off, or Turn Return Pump to Auto.
Sincerely, Brennyn
