Keeping myghl on permanently

Mortie31 · Mar 31, 2017

Hi All
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, I have a tablet on which I want myghl to display permanently so as I walk past my tank I can immediately see my main parameters, however it seems to time out after a variable period of time, I then have to log back in completely or select ghl device and get in that way, this is obviously frustrating. Have I missed a setting or is it a deliberate function of myghl so we have to buy the GHL display?

Hi Mortie,
MyGHL was not designed to be run in that fashion. For Always on, the ProfiLux Touch would be the better option, however it was not done intentionally.

Thank you Marco, do you know if they new app will work like this as the Touch is so expensive when u can pick up a tablet for £30

Personally I would go for the Touch. It's a dedicated device, with an interface made specifically for it, displaying all the most pertinent information in an easy to view format, with dedicated sections for controlling sockets and illumination, starting feedings or maintenance, (or AWC).

You would have to use some type of auto Refresh function to keep the page fresh

An like Marco said the Touch is way better as it can be customized for how you want to use it. An it is direct input instead of going thru and internet connection. No matter how fast your internet is there is always a lag when pressing a button on a webpage and then the command being received by the processor.

I agree the perfect solution may be the touch but spending an extra £217 is daft, when I would hardly ever use it to program or adjust, I just want a display screen... and it's even dafter when I have tablets sat around that I should be able to use. I will try the auto refresh thanks for the tip. I'm hoping as the New GHL APP will be brand new they have built some flexibility into it... think of your customers I've just shelled out a small fortune on the P4 and accessories....
