How would I code this to turn on feeding mode at a certain time, instead of using the app or portal.

This is some code that will trigger a Ehiem Auto Feeder at 6pm and at the same time put the system in Feeding mode.
Maybe you can take something from this.
Code: Select all
static unsigned long feeding = 0;
if ((now()%SECS_PER_DAY==64800)) //if it is 6 pm
{
ReefAngel.FeedingModeStart(); //START FEEDING MODE
}
if (ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE)
{
if ( feeding == 0 ) {
feeding = now(); //set the time of the start of feeding to variable feeding
}
if ((now()-feeding>=60) && (now()-feeding<=61)) //if between 60 and 61 seconds has past
{
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Feeder); //TURN FEEDER RELAY ON
}
else
{
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Feeder); //TURN FEEDER RELAY OFF
}
} else {
if ( feeding > 0 ) {
feeding = 0;
}
}

ReefAngel.FeedingModeStart
Thats what I needed, do I need to tell it to go off or will it still go off after a certain time like it does now

I think the feeding will end after whatever duration you have set in the internal memory.
Mine is set for 900 seconds or 15 min.
