Huh, what version are you running?I'm having a strange issue with one of my tank heaters.. No recent changes to anything in the setup, but for some reason this heater doesn't want to control my temp any more. you can see the threshold is 78 and yet the tank is happily heating right up to 80.... my poor fish don't know what to think.
5.2
Welp that is a bummer, Ive stayed back on 4.3, I know things work and does what I need it to do, would be interesting to see what journalctl is saying in the logs but it is missing the threshold, is it possible that the relay has gone south? Maybe try moving the heater to another outlet and see if that happens or manually throwing the outlet switch via equipment.
If you have a ground from relay board to Pi then you have a common ground somewhere so all should be good. DC circuits need a ground between all devices or weird things can happen.

Yup that would do it, why I only have things on the Kasa that I want to stay running like wave pumps or return pumps since if wireless is down or it power reboots the kasa strip is not always reachable. I have one kasa strip and one hardwired strip, and heaters and dosers go on the hardwired strip since I want them to be reachable at all times. Things that I tend to want on all the time or non critical devices I place on the Kasa strip. I have the same concern, I really like the kasa strips but they can become unreachable, for me it's still an issue after a power hit, the wireless controllers take longer to boot up vs the rpi's and I have to almost do a reload on reef-pi to get the strips working again.I think it's just not able to connect to the kasa strip.

I want to spend some time looking into a cron job that will monitor the kasa strips and if not reachable perform a reload, I prefer to do something besides a full reload but not sure what else can be done. Will try to spend some time this weekend and see what I can come up with.
Yup looks like you need to carry over the ground, I tested both ways and it did not work as expected with NC outlets. I'd really like someone to explain in simpleton terms why this is and how the DJ strips are working without a ground from the rpi. I did some googling and has to do with the optical isolaters and how it is sinking to ground along with the JDVCC jumper. I found this thread that tries to explain it but its waaay over my head, lol - https://electronics.stackexchange.c...lay-module-with-jd-vcc-from-arduino-raspberry
have you tried switching to manual mode by clicking the button that says auto and dragging the slider to 0? It won't delete your config, if you switch back to auto that will still be there
Following up, and being more of clear mind this am its the optical isolation that makes things different, once I went back and read that write up it makes *cough* more sense ( at least to my simpleton electronics mind).Yup looks like you need to carry over the ground, I tested both ways and it did not work as expected with NC outlets.

Bottom line without the ground from the rpi (I tried grounding the relay in the enclosure itself), the NC outlet would trigger on when GND was touched on the rpi. It was clear that something was not quite right, but with ground brought over from the rpi it behaved as expected. I was tired last night and will try to read through that write up again but just thought @theatrus @robsworld78 or someone could explain in laymans terms what is going on.
Thanks
I can't explain things very well but a common ground for DC is needed to complete the circuit otherwise it would be an open circuit. The isolator only isolates, doesn't eliminate the ground, you would still need to run one from Pi to relay board. I could be wrong but I don't think the DJ power bar has any circuit, just relays on a board so all you need is a common power wire to each relay and a ground to switch that's why no common ground was needed as it was all done on the controller PCB.Yup looks like you need to carry over the ground, I tested both ways and it did not work as expected with NC outlets.

, from one of the pico ,
Ok, wired the converter with Vin to the motor and Vout to GPIO17. Tested in at 12V and out at 5V and added GPIO17 as an input for the ATO. However, I'm not seeing any events recorded in the reef-pi ATO chart. Anything else I need to configure?
When you created the ATO did you assign a piece of equipment to control? Without this the chart wouldn't update so it appears it's not working.
Thank you!...I had no idea that was a required field...
