REEF PI HELP!

[BADHABITS123]

HEY GUYS

THANKS FOR HAVING ME AND I HOPE I CAN HELP OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I'M HAVING HERE!


I have started reef pi with kessil lighting and have read so many post that i need to get new glasses! lol i've followed ranjib and i thought i was on point. first board running 3 kessil lights it seemed i had control at some points. but then again i could only control from 9 to 88 and not 0 to 100. i've read post that it only should work from 1 to 99. i didn't seem to have that success. it also seemed to be reversed so 9 was high and 88 was off. ive also tried 2 temp monitors that were suggested on the form but still not as lucky so im asking for a little help with my build on reef pi.

You posted perfectly fine. What you'll find mainly in this section is all our great members wanting to welcome you to the forum.

I might suggest starting a thread in the DIY section. There are several Pi folks there and a wealth of information. In doing so, your specific information and details will be a little easier to sift through later. Just a suggestion.

Welcome to reef2reef. Sorry for your trouble. Let me share a few pointers ;
- kessil a360 and a160 series models don’t dim till lowest level . That is , even though it uses 0-10v control , only 1.3 to 10 is what given Flickr free light. Which is why you see it does not work below 11. That’s expected. Set your minimum threshold 11 for that channel. The 0 and 100% behavior is a bug that I fixed in newer reef-pi (2.4)

The temp probe, we have to look at a bit more details . I’ll respond back in few hours
