Dirt Diggler's Reef-pi Build

Was it a newly created AIO key? That's what seems to have taken a while to propagate.

No, I was using my old credentials, but the feed was new

You have to just enable telemetry and provide your username and token (as mentioned in the guides), and reload reef-pi. that will automatically send data to adafruit io, you can the create dashboard using the feeds (automatically created by reef-pi)

The AIO key is a couple of weeks old. I'll check up on it tomorrow then, since I just reenabled it today.

New feeds seem to show up right away, io.ada wasn't showing any data just after I created my account there. I think that's the difference.

Are you seeing any error in your reef-pi ui? You might be rate limited

Once it started working it has worked perfectly since!

I don't see any error messages this time around.

Hopefully mine populates soon.

@Ranjib , there are a bunch of threads for this project at this point, and I know I've seen this somewhere, but how do I set the timers and macros to do something such as turn my refugium light on and off?

 

[Diamond1]

Here's how I have mine set up. I just use timers not macros.

Awesome! I have mine set like this now.

 

[Diamond1]

That looks like it will work.

 

[DirtDiggler2823]

I hope so. This is the time for me to do dry runs to make sure everything works. The only life in the tank is pods and phyto. I have more pods coming in next week too. I hope to have a nice established population by the time the cycle is complete.

What do you have working with reef-pi so far?

 

[DirtDiggler2823]

What do you have working with reef-pi so far?

I have the ATO and heaters working. Since I have non-dimming T5 lights, those are using their internal timers. I have the skimmer and now the fuge light on the adj power strip, and a timer set for the fuge light to see if it works. Next is the pH probe, once that programming is ready, and then I think that's about it.

And make sure you dont have spaces in any of the names that you give things in reef pi!

I will have to go back and make sure then

I think i should fix this in software.

@DirtDiggler2823
Did you get those temp sensors running?

Yep. The insulation is pretty thick, but I've got it put together and in use.

Im testing these vs a black cheap(5 for 10 bucks) pvc insulated one that I got when these sold out. These are much more responsive, yet steadier in the readings. Must be the thermal conductive grease that the amazon description says the probes are filled with.
