reef-pi :: An opensource reef tank controller based on Raspberry Pi.

What user name and password are you using... it might have reverted back to the reef-pi username and password and your browser is trying to use a user created one..
Refreshing browser, clear cache and history say last 24 hours chrome will prob solve this. You can test this by trying to log in on say your phone or a different computer on the same network..... Sometimes i have to reset my switch

Thanks for the tips @Erica-Renee! Using default user and my password. Cleared cache on ipad, iPhone, and iMac! Was odd. Would clear the cache on iPad, it would work once the go back to unavailable. Finally did all there and it’s been working.

I am thinking if I should provide an easy way to just reset the username/password. This seems to be a recurring issue, for some reason.

I Have this issue with several devices... My Disk station .. my media server (sometimes) Its the whole Remember password thing..... Every user on every web browser should turn off this feature or clear the saved password list often.....

Hey everyone,
Been pretty busy with work lately and not had much chance to play about with the reef-pi.
I've just updated it to the 2.0 beta and have found that it had a few problems as my browser data was messing things up a little and had to reconfigure the PWM for the lights jack.
The problem I'm left with is the temperature, after disabling and re-enabling the temperature, going onto the tab and defining the name, sensor, etc once I click on add it just goes back to the same blank tab with the [+] and doesn't display any temperature probes.

going on putty and inputting sudo systemctl status reef-pi.service to see if it's running I can see the log reading the temperature sensor yet on the UI I cannot display anything.
Something I am missing or doing wrong @Ranjib ?

Is happened to me a lot but luckily I’m familiar with linux

@CL Ingus
What are you trying to monitor with Adafruit

Right now its just temp, but I want to put more probes in and keep an eye on the water conditions as the tank stabalizes.

Still getting back to normal schedule after maker faire. It was so much fun :-). I like the fact that thousands of people get to know about reef keeping.

Now back to reef-pi development, I have spotted an UI bug, where outlet from deleted equipment will show up as wrongly assigned to existing equipment. I'll fix it and cut another beta release. There are handful of other fixes that have piled up which will be part of the release as well. Not decided on the adafruit.io integration yet.

Meanwhile, adafruit folks have requested me to add a reef-pi build tutorial on their site (learn.adafruit.com) as well, I think this is a great opportunity, adafruit is probably one of the biggest DIY/opensource friendly hardware company out there with an enormous community following, so having some reef-pi related tutorial there will not only spread the word about reef-pi, but also spread more awareness around reef keeping as a hobby.

I have updated the bill of material with the standard 1.0 build components, its roughly 300$, including housing, temperature sensor, power bar, ato sensor etc. The bill of material includes pi 3 , resistor packs, transistor packs, 6 modules lm2596 etc, hence the total is high. If one chooses to go with pi zero (which will work without any issue) and have connectors and smaller components like resistors and transistors (they only come in packs of 6 to 20) , then the build should wrap up under 200$. I think its a good deal, considering this includes the power bar and all the sensors (ato + temperature). It is worth considering group buy as well.

Hi @Sam Rowe , did your probelm resolved. Try refreshing your browser cache. 2.0 brings in significant changes, and the old data is unlikely to work.

I’ve tried to delete the cache as. 2.0 was not displaying correctly and it did then bring the correct displays up, it still wouldn’t add the temperature probe and still won’t
I had tried to log in using my iPhone on both safari and chrome to see if there was still something being held on my computer stopping it working properly and it comes up unothorized on most tabs although it’s let me log in?

Also not sure if it’s a bug or if my pi had just gone a bit funny but last night the lights dimmed to blue but stayed bright and didn’t turn off and as I was going to bed didn’t have the time to look into it so just unplugged the 3.5mm jack from the light. Will have a look later when I finish work to see what the log has in it before rebooting the pi.

 

[Sam Rowe]

Found out why the lights didn't go off last night, it would seem my reef-pi tried setting the PWM lower than minimum causing it to default to 1 keeping the light on all night if I didn't unplug it

Just in case for the temperature issue I tried re-adding the temperature probe and then reloaded the log to get this

You know, there is this thing called "Sleep"? You might want to try it, it's good for you.

Do they sell this on Amazon or ebay... if so can you please provide a link ...


Thank you

do you have an update pin layout with dosing and ph please

do you have an update pin layout with dosing and ph please

Not yet . But I’ll be working on docs from now on, and all the bug fixes , so stay tuned

So, your issue is resolved now ?

 

[Ranjib]

I saw a tormach 440 personal cnc machine in makerfaire this year . I was literally drooling . I wish I had the space to get something like that , then I could build custom housing for reef-pi as well.
I also saw an awesome laser cutter from dremel, and I was wondering how a full acrylic reef-pi enclosure will look

 

[Ranjib]

We need folks with cad (sketchup or solidworks) knowledge .that will solve all our housing /fixture issues. This along side a pcb that simplified the circuit will bring down the learning curve / build time .i would still prefer through hole components though, since they are easy to solder and I like the diy aspect ...just thinking out loud about a build kit

 

[Greg456]

any luck on an update with the doser scheduling fix? ready to test

@Ranjib,
I work a good bit in Inventor. I haven't been working on any case plans, but I can take any design concepts you have and work them out. If you are looking for something else to keep you from sleeping, Autodesk Fusion 360 is an awesome free software.

great thanks I keep an eye still wait for my ph circuit so not in no rish
