I think because I see your heater call as “nothing.” You want to set that to the name of your heater in equipment.So, based on the pics of the setting that I have for temperature, why would my probes not trigger my heaters to come on but I can still manually cut them on with the temp probes in the off position? Once I enable my temp probes, the heaters automatically cut off even if the tank is not at the set temp for the probes to trigger the heater switch to come on.
That probe is just so I can know what the temp is in the 45 gallon tank. The probe in the 110 gallon tank is the one that controls Heaters.I think because I see your heater call as “nothing.” You want to set that to the name of your heater in equipment.
Looks like some outlets are "reversed" that inverts the logic, if one of those outlets are used for heaters then off would be on and vice versa.That probe is just so I can know what the temp is in the 45 gallon tank. The probe in the 110 gallon tank is the one that controls Heaters.

Outlet 4 pin number 24.That’s another good point. Which outlets in your setup are assigned to “heaters?”
Like I said, it worked perfect until I upgraded to reef pi 5.0.That’s another good point. Which outlets in your setup are assigned to “heaters?”
I have the heaters on outlet 4 pin number 24, what should the driver for that be? It is on raspberry pi right now.Looks like some outlets are "reversed" that inverts the logic, if one of those outlets are used for heaters then off would be on and vice versa.
do you have a build thread that we can use to comment/discuss this. It is likely to get lost here. I have tested the temp controllers and could not spot any bugs. i think its due to some setup issues.Someone help please, I have been building these two tanks for two years and this is the most success I have had to date, I actually have hammers that are growing.
I do not have a build thread. I started one but never finished it. Or even hit enter. Lol, sorry. Ummm, Facebook messenger?do you have a build thread that we can use to comment/discuss this.

Thank you for sharing the details. so at the end you were not able to setup the temperature control ? If that’s the case then this is a serious bug, and I’ll look asap .I had a little bit on an adventure tonight trying to replicate the problem you had. I think I first noticed it when I turned on "stay off on boot" in the heater's equipment settings, may not be the item that caused the error though. At any rate, it started doing exactly what you described where the heater would turn on in the equipment control but was not being controlled with "Temperature". The only error I was getting was:
{"error":"not found - API documentation can be found at https://io.adafruit.com/api/docs"}
The work around for me was to create a new temp control - the original one I've had from the V3 release is still not working despite having the same exact settings.
Should mention that I upgraded from v3.3 to the last v4 release about 3 weeks ago, and to v5.0 a few days ago.
Thanks Ranjib, that’s correct. The original temperature controller that’s been configured for a year or so is not communicating with the heater. I configured a new temp controller with the same settings and it’s working as expected - the original still won’t work.Thank you for sharing the details. so at the end you were not able to setup the temperature control ? If that’s the case then this is a serious bug, and I’ll look asap .
we have not done any changes in temperature control, so it’s possible this is an existing bug that you are hitting during the upgrade.
i have not tested with the ’stay off on boot’ option . I’ll do that next
Are you saying I should create another temp controller under the "Temperature" tab. Should I leave the other two there or delete them?I had a little bit on an adventure tonight trying to replicate the problem you had.

I just tried that and when I try to set the temp probe for the heater control like DanTheReefer said to do only I deleted the original probes still isn't working. When I set it to active it cuts the heaters off.Thank you for sharing the details. so at the end you were not able to setup the temperature control ?

Goes without saying that the system temp is lower than the set point and the outlet still is not reversed right?I just tried that and when I try to set the temp probe for the heater control like DanTheReefer said to do only I deleted the original probes still isn't working. When I set it to active it cuts the heaters off.
I really don't want to reset the OS until I get another SD card, been having issues with the ones I have. My plan is to get the raspberry pi 4 to boot from an SSD drive.
Also, did you change any hardware settings? Could be that you accidentally flipped your relay wiring to be “normally closed” instead of “normally open”. If it’s “normally closed” you’ll actually want to enable the reverse feature.I just tried that and when I try to set the temp probe for the heater control like DanTheReefer said to do only I deleted the original probes still isn't working.
