I got It fixed as I mentioned I did a complete install a version 5.3 on a new SD card then I uploaded the back up I made of my Reefpi 5.1 from my other SD card and working system. Normally I would download and install Reefpi from Robo-Tank‘s website preconfigured for my Robo-Tank system and then upgrade from there. I thought it was best to do a complete fresh install version 5.3 that I download it from GitHub considering the issues I’ve had in the past with Reefpi . I had already checked what @robsworld78 posted here along with the things that @Sral posted in the other thread. None of them seem to be the problem. To answer @robsworld78 what the low-voltage concern only happened randomly did not appear to have anything to do with the pH reading or any device is turning on never had a problem until doing the new Reefpi install. So I went back to basics and did things the way I did in the past. I reflash my SD card with a fresh version a raspberry pi operating system with desktop so I could run Kivy- reef and then download it and installed Reefpi from Robo-Tank’s website which is version 4.3. Then upgraded to version 5.3 and all the problems went away. Don’t know what happened at this point I really don’t care things are working properly to some extent some reason my dosing pump those 10 seconds worth of RedSea Reef Foundation B in stead of what I had set up at five seconds have to wait till tomorrow to see what happens fortunately no negative affects on my tank. I do have a question for @robsworld78 on flow meters and the accuracy Reef-pi and his program you wrote for reading flow sensors I have two flow sensors both in the same system one before and one after my chiller and they both read the same but they are way far less than what the pump spec says they should be the max I can get is 70 gallons an hour on a pump rated for 520 gallons an hour With a 3 m head pressure. The pump only has to pump up less than a meter and I know for a fact that my chiller is not that restrictive so my question is is the flow meter right or is the Chinese Jebao pump way overrated any ideas other than taking a bucket and measuring how many gallons per minute I get to verify the accuracy of the flowmeters I thank you I appreciate all the help thank you @robsworld78 and @Sral for all the help you’ve given me. One other question for @robsworld78 Is there any other manuals other than the one you published which is very nice and the information on GitHub auto fruit and this form has on setting up reef pie and drivers for devices like Shelly, home assistant or Tasmota .I would greatly appreciate any direction that you could point me in to finding out how to configure and use them in Reefpi thank you again. Oh and what is OneShot

I'm very new to the world of raspberry pi, I have the older version of reef pi (4.3) on mine. Where did you go to get the code to update to the 5.3? I can see some zip files online but I can never seem to find the actual code for it. Mind helping?

Just type 5.3 in the upgrade reef-pi version then click install

It takes some time to finish and doesn't give feedback on the progress. In my case a reboot was necessary before upgrading, I believe. After some time the version number should update when you fully refresh the Webpage with "Ctrl+F5". Afterwards a Reboot is recommended.

If your Reef-Pi Version doesn't have the upgrade field you can use any SSH-Terminal like "putty" with the commands listed in the Upgrade-Guide. Just replace the version numbers in all paths and file names with the desired version, e.g. 5.3

Hmm maybe I was just being impatient.

Could also be Reef-Pi ^^
As mentioned, I had a few problems upgrading like this myself. I had to reboot first and then hit the upgrade button 2 times. At the second time he complained something like "upgrade service is already running" so I knew that it was working.
