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

[Ranjib]

How do I go about adding additional temperature sensors? I keep getting an error on the one I have setup and I want the redundancy. Last night my tank dropped 3 degrees before the sensor stated working again.

its simple and the wiring is same as the first one. One wire (the protocol temperature sensor uses) is a bus . You can attache more than one sensor that share exactly same GND, +Ve and Data wires

Quick couple of questions for someone new to the thread... @tankaholic

How does one do this?

I'm a pi noob
Also can you change time from military if so how?
thanks

context?? is this here in r2r thread?

Yes, it was asked by @tankaholic on someone else's build thread.

@Ranjib, are the fixes listed in the comments below implemented or planed for the 2.x RC.x release? I installed 2.0 when you first released it but have not updated since. I noticed you had 18 comments and the doser calibration fix is in there.

Yay . I’m not sure about the ato sensor , keep us posted on how it goes

i cant use the standard level sensor. the algea will block the moving parts because i have a fresh water aquarium

2.1 should have the doser fix . Rest of the things (drivers api in particular will be part of 3.0 alpha/beta series ). It will break all existing api of 2.0.
Is there anything specific you are looking for?

Ok, I think I've got the pi up and running, it's possible I've screwed up something, just browsing the ui I can't seem to add anything, do I need to have stuff connected to add or have I messed up something during the software installation? @Ranjib and others?

Which guide you are following ? Can you be specific about what you tried to do and what did not worked?
Most likely you have to create few outlets , jacks etc (connectors) before using them with equipment , light etc. adafruit guides cover them step by step

Honestly I just had a feel around the ui, now I know how to set it up (software) I think I should probably do it again being as it's my first time with the Linux console. I didn't see many pin options, almost convinced something didn't go right along the way.

This is the guide I followed, hopefully the right one for rpi3 model a+

I'll try to set up the temperature sensors tomorrow before panicking, seeing as I just need to connect them as they they're already made.

Thanks, I was looking for the doser calibration fix. I wasn’t sure if you already released it or not. Thanks.

Evening

Just been setting up reef-pi on a Pi Zero

All going very well and had telemetry and email alerts set up and working.

Then I tried to port forward but I'm already using 80 so I changed reef-pi to be 0.0.0.0:8080

But then I was locked outfrom my address.local dashboard and had to 'rm' the /var/ file to reset the database and start over with the settings

How do I correctly change the port being used?

Many thanks
Scott

Most likely lost the reef-pi.local information. You can login directly with the pi IP address and :80 on the end from your browser, ex: 192.168.0.55:80. If you are on Windows, type cmd in the search bar, then enter. Type arp -a in the cmd box and it should list every connected device on your network. May have to try each number 1 at a time.

I know the ip so have just tried that and can reach the page using the ip with :80 on the end

Is it the correct method then to simply change the settings to 0.0.0.0:8080 and then access via 192.168.x.xx:8080?

Just tried it again and used the ip this time to find the page and it works thanks!

You can just go back and set up the .local configuration as you did before.

Any word on when the next update will be released and what it will contain? Thanks

Follow the adafruit guides if possible.
