how to name plugs on relay box?

[deva]

Hi all,
just got my RA controller...
I would like to rename a couple plugs on the relay box In RAgen. is this possible?
I would like to rename metal halides to LED whites an normal lights to LED blue.
or is that something I can do a app or the controller it self?
cheers

That depends on where you want the names to show up. I have renamed my relays in the client app, in the portal, and in the android app. I am pretty sure you can rename them in custom menu on the RA screen but I haven't tackled that yet.

Take a look at my sig block. Comes directly from my portal (although you do need the wireless add-on)

Don't worry, you'll get there. Let us know how we can help. Thx

yes...that is what i want to do.
I would like to rename them on Ragen so a can make codes as well as portal and the iphone app.
found this thread:

was trying to use this code but change the "#define......"then name the socket.
but I get a error.
"class reefangel class has no member named 'LCD'
thoughts?

Just change them on the portal.
The smart phone apps can grab labels from the portal

OK but don't have the wifi setup yet and unfortunately I can't use my iphone with the app b/c it's only the 3g ( second gen ) & the app only works on the 3gs and higher. a real bummer too
you have to have the wifi set up to run portal right?

ok you do...answered my own question.
is there a way to change them on RAgen so I know what goes where?

RAGen doesn't uses names. It uses Port1 through Port8, but if you prefer to call it by names, you can do it too.
Just add :

Code: Select all

#define yoursocketname 1

Just change name and #, but that will not be shown anywhere else but the code.
That's meant just for reading the code a little easier, instead of Port1. That's all.
So, you can use the functions like this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.On(yoursocketname);

Instead of this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1);
