Hi everyone, it been a while but I have been working in my spare time on a universal portal / app for all devices and the good news is i'm only a couple of days away.
This will work and display properly on all recent mobile phones, tablets and PCs.

If you have any features you would like to see, please let me know.
With the constant update of iOS and other phone software, this solution will have many long term benefits and is my gift to all you Reef Angel Lovers!

Thanks guys i will PM you the link this afternoon ( AUS time ).
Some features i have been toying with - to help with the ongoing growth and to take some strain of Roberto.

What do you think about more extensive alerts. For example you can set how often you want the RA to be contacted to view statuses like temperature etc, and have various flags set in the app that can alert you via email and / or SMS ( will work on an SMS service ).
This way alerts can be independent of memory usage etc.
We can also build in an online scheduler, ( when RA is online ) we can schedule talks or relay positions remotely. )

Here is a preview of the relay switches with additional options.

Hi all still chugging away.
For the coders out there behind RA, is there a way to get a response from the RA in json format?
I am trying to setup a cross domain get so that there is an option of direct commands to the unit when you are on the local network. This speeds up heaps.

I'm creating my own json in javascript using an ajax call.

Are you talking about /r99 response?

Mine is a combination. I have one json that is r99 only and another that is r99 and mr data

What I am trying to achieve is a direct communication with the RA as you cannot cross get or post XML but you can with json.
So when the RA returns it's results using r99 or when you switch a relay it returns XML. I would like it to return JSON so we can directly control when you are in your local area network.

Features added so far:
Setup monitored ports and alerts: For example, you can set if temp 1 goes over (this) or below (that) turn off port (x).
This obviously should be done directly, but wold be helpful if you are away and want to monitor something.
Also if temp 1 goes over (this) or under (that) email me message (x). ( or sms if setup ).

You can choose how often you want to poll your RA and all data is stored in a database for quick access every time so there is no need to continually sync with the RA and wait for it to load.
Labels can be taken from RA portal or set your own.

Setup quick functions. For example
Button X is pressed : - > turn off relay X and relay X and turn on relay X.
When button X is pressed again, return to it's state.

Any relay can be programmed for a certain time or function.
All gauges can be monitored every ( 1,2,5,10,30,60,90,120,240 ) minutes.

What you all think :)

You will have to modify the ra wifi code to return the json. The behavior you mentioned for relays is basically how I did it in my javascript.
