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

Should be fine. I have never tried it though

Going to give it a spin. Since each sensor has it's own identity, it should work.

Hi All - I am attempting to get AdaFruit IO established and keep hitting brick walls. I have scoured the board and help files and think I am close.

1. I have my AdaFruit IO account established, know the UserID and the IO Key and have entered that info into Reef-Pi (2.0)
2. It appears that the Reef Pi is hitting the IO account since these IO feeds got created (not sure why I have so many)

3. I am getting the following errors in Reef Pi

4. None of the feeds contain any data

So I am open for ideas.

Remove space from the name of your sensor as well as prefix (if you have any )

Seems my ip of the raspberry has changed, can't get into now through vnc or find reef-pi through a browser, it's running fine, I set a host name for the raspberry but alas I can't seem to get that to work either, I go into my router and it's listed with the hostname I gave the raspberry but still cannot access it with that

Your router shows the ip ? Use ip to ssh or access it via browser

I am no direct help in this effort, but I got nowhere after I got signed up on io.adafruit, but I just checked it now and the data is there. I think sometimes it takes a while for stuff to propagate through adafruits servers or something.

Unfortunately not, it shows lightpi as connected

It’s impossible to have it connected but without an ip :-/ . You can’t click on it and see the device details ?

All I get is this now, it did used to show an ip address but only get as in the picture now

@LionHeart2017 - might seem like a silly question but have you tried restarting the router?

That will break all device association , and unless the devices are configured correctly to retry network upon failure , they will lose connection . I have seen pi requiring reboots after hostname changed

 

[LionHeart2017]

Yeah just tried rebooting router but it's still only showing mac address, I'm useless with networking stuff and find this part the hardest

 

[LionHeart2017]

Maybe the reboot did fix it, I'm now able to connect via vnc and browser, thanks for the help, I'm blaming my router on this as it's pretty crap

To do..not do do

This is a very common problem. One of the trick I do is to deploy a system timer job (like cron , but based on its modern equivalent systemd timer unit) to restart network everynight. This is not managed by reef-pi and configured at system level. In worst case when network issues happen, it resolves after the immediate night.
This is crude, and I think we need a better answer for this issue.

There is? Where? I use Google Home and it would be cool to have this (maybe...assuming my kids don't get carried away and shut everything off with it).

Just to clarify, my build is Home Assistant not Google Home. Home Assistant can integrate with Google Home, Alexa, etc. but it's an entirely separate system.

Amazing! LOL!

@Ranjib how are we supposed to get the telemetry into adafruit.io? It keeps asking me for a prefix, but I have no idea what that is? I know someone made a reference to the telemetry tab earlier today, but I can't find it.

Lets troubleshoot it. I'll respond in your build thread.
