Are dashboard charts for lighting supposed to be working? I try to set up a graph but all it says on the dash is:
"multi channel light charts are not supported".

Thats correct, the light chart UI still does not support multiple channels. We plan to work on it soonish though.. this happened during the arbitrary pwm profile work which allows user to give custom interval, dirurnal, lunar etc profiles

Gotcha, good deal. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something dumb.

It is definitely possible and with 4.0 much easier. But to be sure for an exact setup like yours I'll need some details. For example, if sensors and power outlets are all physically wired, then you are all good, you just copy the DB and test the other one in isolation without any worry (since wires are connected to the in-use controller). You can switch back and forth or even migrate individual features (just ato).

This can be complicated if you are using wifi based outlets as both controllers can reach them. If you have adafruit io enabled, then both controller will send metrics.

Ofcourse, all of these can be selectively disabled or powered by some no-op type driver (e.g. use a dummy GPIO outlet instead of kasa driver outlets for the equipment in concern) to mitigate those risks, but the extent of this work will depend upon individual setups

@Ranjib Thanks for your reply. Currently I am controlling a single Kessil A160WE, I have 2 temp Probes, a DB9 connector for power relays, and a single 12V DC in, all of which are physically hard-wired to the boards. I would like to be able to build and test adding PH, possibly dosing and optical sensor in the future. My ideal scenario is I leave my active Reef-pi in place to control my tank, but build my 2nd unit the exact same wiring so if I add a PH circuit to my 2nd I can just unplug unit 1 and plug in unit 2, and all the sensors and outlets, etc would all work the same. Obviously, I would also have the benefit of a backup system should I drop a Pi or take a power spike.

Happy thanksgiving everyone ,

I've still got the bug with the mobile site. If i try to expand the menu of any temperature sensors, i get "Something went wrong. TypeError: t is undefined". On PC it is fine, and if i use the request desktop site option on the phone (android firefox), the problem is also gone. I assume it has something to do with the graph rendering in that menu, because the expansion works for a splitsecond and the menu is there, and then it crashes, presumably when it tries to render the graph.

It's not in the github issues, but i don't have a account there rn to add it

Hi elysics, as a workaround you can view them on your phone in landscape view, although that is how it works on mine ...

Indeed, I never tried that, though i always used the desktop mode before as a workaround. Slightly annoying either way though, but it's not like i am constantly changing the sensor settings

Hello Reef-pi people,

I am having some issues with my equipment control. I am running Reef-pi 3.5 on a Leviathan board on a Raspberry pi 4, and I am controlling a DJI SRP8 Power Strip. I have noticed twice today that my return pump and my two wave makers were off. My protein skimmer, sanitizer, and light were still on. When I try to access the Reef-pi via the web UI I get stuck in a loading loop. I power cycled the box, and I can hear the relays start for a second and then stop. I was thinking it could be from my enclosure overheating as it was lacking airflow but I removed the lid and let it run open and it happened again. It is in a unventilated cabinet so could My other thought is that its overloading the fuse but why would some outlets still work and some not? Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Never thought of trying that, indeed it works.

This is with 4.0 and main dashboard?
Im trying to reproduce this on my end. Will be awesome if you file a bug,

I believe it's exclusive to android? I'm going to run the update shortly and will let you know.

 

[AbjectMaelstroM]

Mine does as well:

Happens with Edge and Chrome.

Still happening after the upgrade for me too.

Mine only started doing it after moving to 4.0 and it only does it on my phone.

My Galaxy Tab has no issues.

Interesting, mine happened during 3.4, I ran an update of the OS and it went away until my battery backup ran out of juice during a power cut, I have been suspecting that my sdcard maybe be slightly corrupt, I might pick up a spare card tomorrow and swap the cards over. I should have a backup anyways, too lazy to do it.....

Cleaned up the "command center" powered by ReefPi 4.0, running on combination of DIY, RoboTank, and Michael Lane's hardware.

Need to set up the dosers, but that's for later.

Had to modify the 3d models for the controller and power bar, added mounting tabs so they can be mounted to the board.

Huge thanks to @Ranjib @Michael Lane @robsworld78 for their work!

Is there a way to make the temp charts have a min other than 0? Back in the day, I could specify a min and max, but those options are gone now. Does it happen automatically? I'm on 4.0...

Any way to get the Kasa KP303 to work with Reef-Pi? I know the HS variants work, but I have no clue what would go into getting the KP series to work with it?

Is the same driver able to be used?

Amazon product

 

[GaryE]

Use the HS 300 driver. I'm using a couple of these on a couple different tanks. Works perfect.
