Thank you i was thinking about the HDMI monitor just could not use the right words.Right now i do everything from my computer monitor,27" that is good.Have extra mouse and keyboard so i try as you suggested,mouse,keyboard,and HDMI monitor.Thank you again.
I defiantly think this will be the best solution for you as the pi has a great interface/desktop and this allows you to use everything as a regular computer but better because no need for remote connections to install reef pi.
I’ve been busy enjoying with family , taking a vacation in turkey . Great place , artifacts of ottoman and Byzantine civilization is everywhere in the city
During the long plane ride I went through the code and did some hacking with Kasa smart outlet . After some field testing in my garage I think I have a working support for kasa110 single outlet smartplug with current monitoring and Kasa 300 , a 6 outlet powerstrip with current monitoring (independent outlet). We don’t have any notion of current monitoring in reef-pi yet, so for the time being the drivers for the smart plugs expose a standard outlet interface as well as analog input interface (that returns the current utilization) , which for the time being can be visualized as ph (since they are just tied to an analog input ) . Overall, at the end of all this I was able to build a simple temperature controller that has only a pi zero and an audio jack to plug in a temp sensor. This controller paired with a Kasa smart poweratrip or plug , can monitor as well as control heater and at the same time report back the current utilization. I also went ahead and get my hands dirty with a rather primitive 3d printed enclosure. It’s tiny
Has only the bare minimal, pi zero is powered by stock micro usb connector. Thankfully, Kasa smar strip has 5v, 2.4a USB port, so one less power adapter.
I have added two notches to easily mount the enclosure anywhere using couple of screws
Pi zero and audio jack fits neatly.
I’m putting it in action next week and I’ll update you all how things go. I’m worried about smart outlets being dependent on network, but we’ll see. I’m otherwise very happy with the powerstrip in particular, it’s sleek , has touch control for each outlet for manual override , has current monitoring for each outlets, we can offload the timers on the smart strip directly if we want and there’s 5v , 2.4a usb sockets. All of this at 60$ , that’s just super awesome. Field testing will reveal more though ... but I’m hopeful

Did you reset your database before upgrading? There are two separate error. The first error indicate you have ph probe that has not been configured with driver, connectors. The second error indicate your temperature sensor is not detected.New msg again look like i forget everything since 2 years ago i installed 2.0 alpha,everything was working without a hitch.
Now i bought ML board and all the parts again to build a complete new controller.Try 10 times each time new error,could not fallow Adafruit because i try to set up 3.0.0 alpha 2 and the adafruit is 2.4
What is this msg.

ph subsystem: Failed read probe
Jul 18 08:06:08
temperature sub-system. Failed to read sensor reef65. Error
Clear
Thank you Ranjib for your replay,i fix the temp sensor that was easy,but PH could not fix.Look like it is working shows the PH and when i try to calibrate i got error msg.
I’m having a hard time seeing these images, the resolution doesn’t not reveal the text.What is that msg. mean ?
Thank you Ranjib,i bought the ML board and the PH from ML tindi store,error json:can not unmarshall object into Go value of type hal.Measurament }HTTP400

Ok, so you are using the opensource ph board. This will not work on 2.4 and it requires 3.0 onwards. Support for this driver was done recently and its scheduled to be available for public release later this year. You can use the 3.0 testing builds to use the ph board but calibration is still not supported via the UI yet. @Michael Lane is working on this (calibration support via UI), but its not ready yet
I have not tried this but from what I understand you can treat it as a water level sensor since it give 0/1 input, and if the solenoid valve is controlled by a relay or outlet then its straight forward. Just use ATO ui to control a valve based on leak sensor input
As of now, it supports ph (and orp, but not tested yet), water level (float sensor and photoelectric sensors), temperature sensors.
Thank you Ranjib so this one least not my fault.Could not believe i am so dang can not install that.Am running reef-pi 3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi3.deb
Thank you Michael installed the PH and working good,i try to read Ranjib post.
