Updated to 4.2. In UI. Scared me by saying 'loading for a minute.
Like the on/off dashboard for equipment.
Noticed that ATO graphs All have the same name, not the name of the ATO given. All are 'ATO Usage'. I have 3 graphs ATO Float, Skimmer Float and High Sump. All have 'ATO USAGE' as the graph title. BUG??.
Keep up the good work.

yes. Bug. I'll get a fix ready. Thank you for calling it out

4.2 update......
i had to pull the power plug and plug back in for it to work, after a waiting a minute for it to update. It just says 'loading'. Is that normal?
Also do we still have do macros backwards?
Fyi. I noticed when changing the number of graphs that the 'back/delete' button on the popup number keypad doesn't work. I think all the other popups work fine.
This is a very good update. Thank you for your hard work on this!

I tried to update via the UI and recieved this error.
error":"Failed to update. Error: Unit reef-pi-install.service already exists."} | HTTP 500
Is there something I should do before I hook up a screen/keyboard/ mouse and install via terminal?

reboot if possible.
That worked! Also, the main reason I was in this thread is I cannot get adafruit.io and Email notifications working simultaneously. Whichever I enter credentials for first works, the other gets forgotten on reload and doesn't work. Any ideas?

Its not forgotten, secrets are not shown back by design. Its bit confusing UI, but they are preserved, so unless you are resetting it, they are set to the previous value, even if they shown as empty in the UI .

Grafana dashboard from reef-pi metrics of one of my 4G pico reef tank.
The tank is in the workshop, without AC. Ambient temperature goes well over 90 in some days. I have a 12V fan as cooling devices and reef-pi does the whole temperature control. Its been pretty effective I think. I just readjusted the chiller threshold to 1 degree less and you can see the impact (top right panel). Fan can make almost 8-10F difference. ATO usage spikes up during the high temp+ Fan on period.
reef-pi has the ability to detect under voltage for sometime, but that insight is only emitted as metric and not available straight from UI. that data is used for the bottom right chart. From next release onward we'll have the under voltage detection insights from UI directly (under errors section)

Its not that I can't see it, it doesn't work. If I check only the email notifications and enter my credentials it works. If I uncheck email, and check adafruit.io and enter that information it works. BUT, if I leave email checked and check adafruit.io and enter that info, adafruit.io does not work. Or the other way around. If I enter adafruit.io first then also check email and set that up, only adafruit.io works. Whichever is checked and entered first. Once I click update and reload, the second thing I tried to enable unchecked.
Weird issue. Tried just now to enter the calibration menu for a ph probe and it didn't work. Like i hover over the "Calibrate" button, it highlights, i click, and nothing happens, the popup that used to appear just doesn't. Last patch i had to set the probe to disabled in the settings before i could calibrate, doesn't work now neither enabled nor disabled.
Creating a new driver, connector, and entry in the ph submenu doesn't help either
For my temperature probes it still shows up
The probe adapter still shows up in i2cdetect and i can still access it via console, still outputs values there, in reefpi too, just can't calibrate

i dont know if i informed earlier, the ph calibration modal was broken by mistake in 4.2, i have fixed it since then, it will be out in 4.3 (tomorrow likely). Till then either wait or use 4.1 for ph calibration

Some minor update.
Today i was able to successfully test Atlas Scientific RTD/platinum temperature probe with reef-pi. Since this probe (and the circuit) uses exactly same i2c protocol for reading the sensor data as the ph probe, I just added it under the ph module. And I was able to read temperature exactly same as ph and monitor/control things as usual. Following are the steps:
- Use atlas ezo rtd circuit. Configure it to use i2c mode, by shorting the PRB, RX pins, as specified in the atlas scientific RTC circuit guide
- Check the i2c address, for me it was 0xF6 , which translated to 106 in decimal
- In reef-pi add a new driver of type ph-ezo and address 106
- Add a new analog input with pin 0 and associate it with the new driver.
- Add a new ph probe under the ph module and associate it with the new analog input.
That's it,., the temperature in celsius will be monitored soon after that.
I had anticipated that this will be possible, i.e. the existing ezo ph driver should work with temperature and ORP probe but never tested it first hand, hence was not comfortable advocating it. Now that I have tested it personally (and will use it for one of my setups), I can recommend this. It also gives me more confidence that the ORP , EC (salinity), DO, O2, CO2 all those sensors will work seamlessly with the ph driver. Note, this only means taking the readings, users have to use atlas scientific library for all other operations.
I think this will be useful for those who are frustrated with ds18b20 issues. Thankfully its not been a issue for me, but for the rest we have option now.
I hope I'll get to update the docs before 5.0 release to include this (that reef-pi support ezo temperature probe).

Haven't set it up yet, but my plan is to set up an "ato" that triggers a macro. Instead of wiring it to a float, wire it to a button and tell it to check every 2 seconds or something. Thats my plan for a feed mode at least.
