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

Most likely lost the reef-pi.local information. You can login directly with the pi IP address and :80 on the end from your browser, ex: 192.168.0.55:80. If you are on Windows, type cmd in the search bar, then enter. Type arp -a in the cmd box and it should list every connected device on your network. May have to try each number 1 at a time.

I know the ip so have just tried that and can reach the page using the ip with :80 on the end

Is it the correct method then to simply change the settings to 0.0.0.0:8080 and then access via 192.168.x.xx:8080?

Just tried it again and used the ip this time to find the page and it works :) thanks!

You can just go back and set up the .local configuration as you did before.

Any word on when the next update will be released and what it will contain? Thanks

 

[Ranjib]

I'll try to set up the temperature sensors tomorrow before panicking, seeing as I just need to connect them as they they're already made.

Follow the adafruit guides if possible.

I've done some initial testing about an hour or so with the lights, everything seems to be behaving. Overly cautious concerning the current that is flowing, all of the connections that are pulling the current I used the solid 22awg wiring. I hope that I have enough room for adding the ph component which I may do in the future. The input is a 5a 12v power supply a good one at that, at full power the mosfets didn't heat up much at all, seem to be doing their job.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for testing further or changes to what I have done, let me know, thanks. :)

I so much love looking at these builds :-). Thank you for sharing. I think 22 awg should be more than enough. I think I have called this out, but having a latching button mounted on the enclosure itself to power on/off is very handy.

Im toying with the idea of a feed button...hit button, turn off filters for 10 minutes

I have a macro that shuts off the wave/circ pumps, return pump and skimmer, then waits 7 minutes, turn on wave pumps, wait 25 mins, turn on return, wait 2 minutes and turn on skimmer pump. It works really well; I am liking it.

This is for a fishless system to spot feed the coral. Might be a different story if the tank had lots of fish in terms of how long the pumps stay off, etc.

A macro works for me, but for the wife, I need to put a physical feed button...lol

 

[Dave's Reef]

Would it be possible in a future release to allow ATO to trigger a macro? That would open a whole new world of abilities.

hi guys I made the connection of the temperature probe to my raspberry with reef-pi execution.
I wanted to ask you which string to insert in configure.txt to enable it?
because from the reef-pi screen I can not see the type of probe.
thank you

 

[Dave's Reef]

My newest version I'm addicted to reef-pi you guys have done an amazing job with the program and build guides

 

[Matt Carden]

Hi, I have a question about the UI. We can setup an alert if something is out of normal operation? I setup a heater with integrated controller ( https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/finnex-hmo-heater-w-digital-led-controller.html ), where the wall plug was controlled NC to open in the case of high temperature. Then setup an alert of this abnormal condition. How would I receive this alert?

I still have to gut my jaebo doser. I’m just running the motor wires from my pi to it.

enable one wire using raspi-config tool as mentioned here: https://learn.adafruit.com/reef-pi-installation-and-configuration?view=all

you have to configure alert settings under Configuration -> Telemetry, with your email credentials. The specifics are described in adafruit guide

 

[Ryan115]

@Ranjib is the alert from ATO functional?
I have received alerts from temp before (when I was on 1.3) and I have confirmed that everything is configured correctly with the test message, but I am not getting an alert when ATO runs for longer than the threshold I set.

Blah...USPS...My package from Adafruit went to the wrong post office. I'm 2hrs from NYC...grrrrrrr

Thats a bummer, been there done that. Actually they are usually pretty decent but when they mess up they usual do it royally. Hopefully it will arrive soon. :)
