How do I change the refugium code from the wizard to run the refugium less hours. On the wizard is set up to come after the main lights go off and then turn off when the main lights come on making it be on for like 16 hrs I would like the refugium to be on for 9 hours for Now

Post your code and tell us which relay your fuge light is on. Should be easy to fix.

Looks like your fuge lights are either on Port4 or Port5. You're also using in-memory settings. We can hard-code the fuge light to be different.

Which port are you using for your fuge, and what times do you want it to run?

--Colin

Port 4 and 6 are the fudge lights I would like them to come on at 9pm and off at 6 am

According to your code, port 6 is your ATO. Are you sure it's not 4 and 5?

Change this line:
To this:
The syntax is ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port you want to use, start hour, start minute, end hour, end minute );

Hours are in 24 hour format.

Do the same with the other port you want to use.

Hope this helps,

Change this line:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.MoonLights( Port4 );

To this:

Code: Select all

    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port4,21,0,6,0 );

The syntax is ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port you want to use, start hour, start minute, end hour, end minute );

Hours are in 24 hour format.

Do the same with the other port you want to use.

wow thanks man. I'm dumb when it comes to this. yea you are right is port 4 and 5

can you check this code for me.
i also intagrated safeties for the ato + kalk reactor.
if the water level gets 40 % turn off port6
if water level gets to120% turn off port 6
if waterph gets above 8.4 turn off port 6

Change this:

Otherwise looks OK to me.

Oh, and don't worry about being new at this. Everyone starts out new.

Sometimes I'll use the Wizard to "Generate Only" a piece of code that I need (like a light setting) and then copy/paste it. It can save a lot of time and headache.

--Colin

Is there a way I can be able to adjust my lights from the app instead of having to reload a code everytime

Do you use the android app?

Iphone app

There is no way to set custom memory locations on iphone app yet

Thanks you. Now next question
How can I set the portal to email me if I loose Internet connection between the angel and the portal. And also how do I set it to send me an email if the temp reach 85 or if the ph reaches 8.5 and can it send text messages

In the portal you can setup notifications for temp and ph. Look under the section portal settings. For sms you need to know the email gateway for your phone provider (they all have one...) and use that for the email address.

For losing internet connectivity, the portal won't do that although maybe roberto can add something for that i recommend setting up an account at www.reeftronics.net and they will send you an email if it can't contact your RA within an hour.

The problem is that I did that but I didn't get the text until 5 hours

From reeftronics or portal?

Was your internet down at the same time? Did you have a power outage or something?

From the portal and yes had a power outage

From the portal and yes had a power outage

As Lee said, Reeftronics will email you when it can't reach the RA within an hour and then it will text you if it still can't reach the RA after 4 hours.

Also as Colin said the wizard is a great way to generate some code and then past it into your INO and modify it to your likings.

Don't worry about learning the code, you will get hang of it sooner or later until then there are plenty of people to help.
