I'm currently running:

1. pi3 b+
2. Raspian Lite
3. Reef-pi Version2

Anyone know the proper step to get it upgrade to version 3 alpha?

I am not exactly sure what you are asking. However, if you are looking for the very latest release of reef pi you can find it in the link below.

I got reef-pi version 2.4 running. How do you upgrade to version 3 alpha?

Is there a command to uninstall
Or
Just install reef-pi ver 3 on top?

Use this for a pi 3
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge reef-pi
wget -c https://github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi/...pre-alpha-2/reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi3.deb
sudo dpkg -i reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi3.deb
sudo systemctl stop reef-pi.service
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/reef-pi/reef-pi.db
sudo systemctl start reef-pi.service

All data and settings will be removed so screenshot them.

Link was shortened you will need to click on it then copy then paste command

You need to delete your 2.4 database before upgrading. Then you must build all your stuff in reef pi all over again in 3.0

Thank you, It's running
Version: 3.0.0-pre-alpha-2 now


Now I need to find out how to add the temperature probe setting

Temperature monitoring hasn't changed in reef-pi 3, so the temperature guide should be able to provide the information you need.

This is spot on. I’m just simplifying it a bit here by removing the not needed bits, for posterity

sudo apt-get remove -y --purge reef-pi
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/reef-pi/reef-pi.db
wget -c [URL='https://github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi/releases/download/3.0.0-pre-alpha-2/reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi3.deb']https://github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi/...pre-alpha-2/reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi3.deb[/URL]
sudo dpkg -i reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi3.deb

Thank you guys, temperature is working as expected now.

I'll be tackling the power strip next, so just waiting for parts to arrive.
