Talking about 3d printing , I have racked up a decent stock of reef-pi enclosures now :) . In the coming days I plan to improve upon this simple design to make it aesthetically more pleasant and more functional

Can this be done with a raspberry pi 4 and is it expensive? I would love to do an ATO and a doser.

Yes. Whether it’s expensive or not is but subjective . A simple ato might cost around 20-100$ including sensor, pi, power adapter, WiFi /relay based outlets . Since you can choose individual parts the cost can vary a lot. Pi 4 itself cost 50$ while pi zero is only 10-15$

Can it be done through the api?
The number of analog pins are fixed for individual driver. Ph boards have only one pin per driver while Kasa plugs can have one or 6 analog pin (hs110 vs hd300)

At present in my tank ..... when the power came back after failure, my main motor will start first after the 30 seconds my skimmers will start. when my skimmer starts at the time of the main pump ... my skimmer starts to over glow due to water level ... at present to make the 30s delay I'm using time delay relay. ... is there any way I can do this with reef pi. I'm having a separate relay for main motor and skimmer

Hello!
I installed reef-pi.
Looking in the files of the github, I noticed that there were translation files. I would like to put in French reef-pi. How to do?
Thank you in advance for the help you will give me!

You could set up a float switch and only turn on the skimmer when the float switch is in the appropriate position. This would be just like setting up an ATO, but turning on the skimmer instead of the top off pump.

Translations are a new feature in reef-pi v3. Here is documentation for adding translations. Some of the french translation is already complete, but there are still some gaps.

Let me think about this, i think its a good feature to have. May be some thing along the line of introducing a fixed delay time for all outlets upon startup.

For some reason I stopped getting notifications on this thread. @Ranjib , I've been experiencing some extreme resource utilization with the BaseBoard pH test build. Any progress on a stable build, or any information on settings I can change to relieve the system stress. Once the memory utilization gets to 60%+, rebooting via the UI is impossible.
