@Ranjib Is there a way to kill the running Macro?

Thanks

Not yet. But also, it should never get stuck. If you are seeing it in running mode, thats due to the bug where it failed and didnt update its status as failed, instead stayed on running (its not actually running, its just a bug in the UI). I am working on a fix.
Thanks a lot for testing it out

while I work on the fix, you can check and fix the macro using API. If you can share the output of this, I'll be able to detect the wrong configuration, and suggest a fix

curl -u username:password http://reef-pi-IP/api/macros

Let me know the next steps to take that will help with troubleshooting. Should I reload Reef-pi? Reboot? Just delete the Macro and try again?

I'll wait to hear from you.

Thanks

if you can get the configuration of that macro via UI, that will be awesome.

I get "unauthorized" when I run that as Pi, with my Password. Does Curl need some specific rights?

Nope, it means your username /password is not correct, are you using the right username and password?

hmmmm, I did some playing around. I'm not using reef-pi as a pw , but.. that's what worked for the curl command. Something to think about.



pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -u reef-pi:reef-pi http://192.168.1.141/api/macros
[{"id":"1","name":"Feed Mode","steps":[{"type":"wait","config":{"duration":10}},{"type":"equipments","config":{"id":"21","on":false}},{"type":"wait","config":{"duration":"60"}},{"type":"equipments","config":{"id":"21","on":true}}],"enable":true}]

I found the bug. When you are specifying a custom duration for in any of the wait step, its saving the duration as string instead number (notice the 60 seconds value in second wait step is inside quotes, i.e. that the problem), for the time being, you can delete that step and add six, 10 seconds wait step (i.e. dont update the duration of default wait step), and that should get you going, till I fix this UI bug

That works!

I'm loving having Macros!!!

Thanks

Bugfix done.. will be patched soon: https://github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi/pull/480

 

[Ranjib]

@sjeff35 i have patched/fixed the bug and re-released the package. If possible download and reinstall the 2.0.0-beta7 package
thanks again for all the testing, really appreciate it

 

[Ranjib]

I like the new UI. I am in process of updating my builds, here is how the kessil controller looks (it controls kessil lights for all three of my tanks)
Dashboard

Lighting tab

Details of individual lights (notice light profile, ability to choose color for each channel etc)

The only big thing remains is acclimation. Other than that some minor things (like visualization for diurnal profile etc) . But thats it, I dont think there are many more lighting specific features I can think of (may be thunderstorm, but that can be minor feature, built as a separate profile). So lighting module is pretty much hitting its maturity. what you all think ?

 

[Ranjib]

Another thing I want to clarify is that I have not used any other commercial controller other than a kessil spectral controller, so not sure how reef-pi compares with other proprietory controllers. If any of you have used other controllers, do let us know how reef-pi compares to those

Hi to all,Ranjib your regular old student is here.Got a new RPI3 B+ again the 3rd one, ("my wife is happy")and i got this after download and try 2.0.0-beta-7

reef-pi is running ? Can you check via command line , I suspect it’s not.

Just built the reef-pi computer, now I have to get the other boards and relays. Ranjib, was there an updated BOM or amazon shopping list available?

@Ranjib

Hate to be a pain, but I'm no longer seeing where to edit the Dashboard in Beta 7.

Did I miss something?

Tres bien!!!
