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

[GaryE]

Hi Gary, I plan to use the supported plug. Amazon product ASIN B07G95FFN3
Do you know if support was added for any other smart plugs?

I'm using the 3 port version of that power strip.

Add the hs300 driver, add the ipaddress and then add the outlets. Pretty simple.

Thanks! I found the driver config on the console. For some reason I overlooked it after going through the different options multiple times

Sorry, I have been away. Here is a screenshot of my dashboard where I have left the mouse hovering over one of the positions, instead of being in red to show an "off" device, it shows in grey but only while the mouse is over it otherwise it disappears. Devices show in green when on, as normal.
Also as mentioned my temperature graph wont update, I have to do Admin/Reload to get it to show the current data.
Thanks.

Can I wire external thermostate and where? Hire is shematics of my ac. At home I have one 24v but I need to get 220v version..I think... thank you!

Sorry for the post bump....but I am stuck.

I installed a Kasa HS300 and can control it with the app.

UI

ERROR

{"error":"Failed to create. Error: dial tcp 192.168.1.183:9999: i/o timeout"} | HTTP 500

I have reset the device, tried to put it on a different WiFi network frequency, reloaded and rebooted the pi, and still same error.
I have googled and I have found some people with similar issues, (I posted to the main thread as well).
I cannot find a way to ssh/telnet/browse the hs300 and I also cannot ping it. My router shows it active, and as I said, it works with the Kasa app.
I have also ensured the multicast and broadcast are enabled.

Is there anyone who can give me a tip on why I cannot add this?

Thank you,
t.

That’s not good. I a, running couple of builds on 3.4 without any issues. How does the health chart looks ?

well looks like my Pi died completely after a reboot now... so need to get a new SD card and rebuild it.

edit: Any recommendations on most durable SD cards?

previously, the health graph looked like a saw tooth

I use Samsung evo , class 10 . I tend to replace them after every 2 years

You are getting the IP from router or the kasa app ?

I don’t think so. You need drivers for this. I have a sensi thermostat driver that I’m playing with... but I doubt there’s any common solution that we can offer

Yup, this is a charting bug that was introduced inadvertently during last release , when we updated the chart library . We have made a workaround /fix that will be available in next release.

I got a Kasa HS300 and added it to my network. I can control it through the app, but nothing else.
I cannot ping it.
I get the following error whenever I try to add the driver:

Signal is strong and I have tried re-adding it twice.

If you are not able to telnet on that ip/port then it’s likely not reef-pi issue.

 

[Ranjib]

Does anyone have performance/responsiveness issues with the webUI?

im finding it locks up, takes a long time to load the graphs on dashboard and doesn’t respond to clicks on the equipment, macros etc... but then sometimes 10min later the thing I wanted to trigger kicks off (like feed mode macro).

edit: running 3.4 on a rpi2b (is that the problem, old hardware?)

Any rpi, including zero and 2/1 is more than enough for running reef-pi. So hardware (in terms of processing power) should not be An issue. Check sd card

Thank you...I will try and get a different HS300 and see what happens.

If the power strip is working I think you should try to cross check the IP. If it’s networking related different unit will not solve the issue , I think

Ranjib,
I have verified the IP on the router, and it matches the one on the Kasa app.
I have installed a demo version of HomeSeer software and it immediately picked up the powerstrip.
I believe that since the error occurs so fast it is happening on the reefpi or raspberry side.
The devices are in the same broadcast domain / subnet.
Is it possible that I have this issue because I still have the power outlets defined in reef-pi on the ML pi-hat? Can you have too many ports?
I am considering reinstalling raspbian and reef-pi all over again. (I am on v3.4 of reef-pi).
I have also tried different names for the driver (Kasa, HS300, KasaPowerStrip) to ensure that it wasn't a potential naming issue.
Reloads/reboots have resulted in no difference.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

That schematic says the unit has a room temperature sensor and a display unit with a bunch of wires going to it, are you sure that you cannot set the temperature there?

Don’t reinstall anything , if you really want to get to the bottom of the problem .
can you reload reef-pi without rebooting pi ? And share the ip (ifconfig output ) of the pi ,

Reef-pi has to know the protocol to do so , I think

No i meant his unit looks like it should be able to do this on it's own without reef-pi

Past few weeks i am controlling a bunch of solenoids (from adafruit ) with 3/5 faucet for drip irrigation . Not much to show , since most of the control is timer based (have not hooked up soil moisture sensor yet, but that’s in progress ), but here are some cool flower from the garden
Dalphinium

dahlias perennial and annual

Assorted Peruvian lily
