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

[Ranjib]

Haven't set it up yet, but my plan is to set up an "ato" that triggers a macro. Instead of wiring it to a float, wire it to a button and tell it to check every 2 seconds or something. Thats my plan for a feed mode at least.

Exactly . That’s how I’ll go about it . Let us know how it goes.
For a more instant setup we need some kind of code that will call the api based on the switch state, and runs a much smaller frequent polling loop

I cannot get adafruit.io and email notifications working at the same time. I am on 4.2 although, I had this issue on 4.0 as well. I can check the email notifications box, enter my info, and I recieve emails. OR I can check adafruit.io and enter my adafruit.io info and that works, BUT I cannot do them both at the same time.

Whichever I enter first is the only one that will function.

For example, if I enter my email info and get it working, then check adafruit.io and enter that info, when I click update and reload reef-pi, adafruit.io will be unchecked when I return to the telemetry page and it will not function. Same if I do it the other way around. If I set up adafruit.io then try to get email working, adafruit.io is the only thing that will function.

This is huge for me as I work out of town for 2 days a week. I need those notifications. Also, with my isp blocking port 80 I cannot access reef-pi as a web server outside my home so adafruit.io is important to me as well.

Anyone else have this issue?

past weekend I redid one of my picos aio controller . To reduce clutter I replaced the two lm9685 that does 12v -> 5v and 12v-> 10v conversion with a single psu from matek system . This was lying around in my old electronic box. I had picked it up long back in 2018. These power distribution blocks are popular in drones. Overall it’s working well, I can run ato, temperature , ph , kessil all from a single

I also took this opportunity to replace pi 3b with a pi 3a, which has lesser memory , but more power efficient and smaller in size.

Yes, that works.

I had only just installed the pi and reef-pi, and it was only v3.0.

When I upgraded to current version the ability was there.

Now, I just need to put macro buttons onto the dashboard along with the current switch display

In 4

Yes, that works.

In 4.2 we introduced equipment panel that allows doing something similar with equipment. I can see us doing something similar with macro

It’s been long since I posted some actual reef tank shots in this thread. I’m slowly getting back to that

one of my pico

it has 5 different corals. With one of them being the invasive .

This grandis is almost 4 years old and started with a frag from my nano

Cyphastrea on back wall

and some good old orange digi

Hive minds,
I have cut another minor release 4.3, two days back (sorry about the late posting, was caught up with a pc build ). This is a minor release, i.e safe to upgrade for all 4.x users and has only a handful of bugfixes. 4.2 , the previous release was long overdue one, and as a result the changes that went in had more volume/pile up. Some UI bugs were introduced. If you are being impacted by those, please upgrade , otherwise you can ignore. It does bring some UI enhancements. Following are the highlights

Bugfixes:

• Mobile devices that encountered UI errors (due to charts) are now fixed. Please let us know if there exist any mobile screen (in reasonably modern devices/software) that breaks in mobile devices.
• The pH calibration modal war not working in 4.2 due to bug. This is fixed now
• Chart UI improvements: Aspects like borders (removed), titles (removed module name), spacing are improved for better ui and functional alignments (since ph module is on its way to become a general purpose analog sensor controller)

Enhancements:

• reef-pi's under-voltage detection system is now integrated with overall health module. i.e users can now see the last time under voltage occured through UI/API
• Email alerts to include tank name: All alerts will now include tank name in the title section. This was my personal requirement to distinguish alerts from different tanks.

Chores

• The frontend build system has been migrated from npm to a better, modern alternative, yarn. This improves better developer experience

Release builds can be found in usual location:

Just updated to v4.3 and have noticed that *sometimes* when I do a config reload, the power outlets turn off and stay off until I re-enable them manually.

Not sure if this is related specifically to 4.3 as I've not been up and running for long.

Can you also test this in landscape mode, I believe this is an old error that only occurs in portrait mode, and not only in ph, also in temperature..

Did you reboot the pi and/or reload the site in browser ( reload, or more aggressively delete cache and reload)

That was the old issue, is fixed now for me with 4.3 after doing the above steps

You don’t have to reboot the pi, a hard refresh (that clears the cache ) on browser should do the trick

This is the old error, it should be fixed, please try refreshing the browser page . If the error persist, try accessing the webui in incognito /private mode . If the error occurs even in private mode, than we still have the bug and I’ll take a look.
thank you so much for testing and reporting this. really appreciate it

Indeed, it happens only in portrait mode.

Are there updated development environment instructions with this? I wanted to try setting building reef-pi myself, but after following the instructions (https://reef-pi.github.io/additional-documentation/development/) I get the following error:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/vagrant/gospace/src/github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi'
yarn
make: yarn: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:48: install] Error 127

I tried installing yarn via apt (yarnpkg, I think), but I still get the same error when running

make install

Well, I did try it again and it works right now .
So the problem is solved indeed.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Sorry , I just migrated to yarn couple of weeks back and the dev document has not been updated. We use slack for any development /code discussion , feel free to drop by and say hi if you want.

I just validated this, on iphone 12 i am not able to reproduce this. What browser you are using? Im curious if its specific to any browser/OS

I had it only the first time in 4.2. I can't reproduce it neither.
I am using google chrome as browser on adroid.

Well, looks like another reef pi build is in the future! Scored a Corallife Biocube 29 with stand for a pittance on craiglist. The guy selling it haa already upgraded it with a dc pump and upgraded LED lighting.
I dont have details on the lighting yet, but now the question is:

Another FW planted(already have the parts for a co2 setup) OR do I attempt a mini reef?
