Because pumps have non-linear performance.A reasonable limitation
Why do you need to make several calibration points...? Isn't it possible to recalculate the data for dosing with one point?
Current firmware requires a minimum of 2 points
If you don’t want to do calibration at many points, I suggest just doing it at the highest PRM(this will be the limit) and at 1 revolution/min, for example.

It's for integration with external controllers. Or if you want to add manual control by a variable resistor.
You can connect an analog signal to the physical port of the controller to control flow.

So my hydros controller has a 0-10v output with 4 separate channels and each channel can have up to 10 separate steps 1v or 2v or 3v etc etc Does that mean I can use the analog feature and run 7 pumps off each channel? And if I understand the analog feature correctly I would set the ml/min I...

Some 3-part controllers can output sensor values as a 0–10V signal, for example. And you can control the pump with it.
As an option, you can enable 100% trigger in Analog Control to make the pump "always on" and control it by turning on and off power if you want.

Hi, it's because of new release, please restart controller and try again.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I am still figuring out how github releases work. I have the theory that you catch state when a new release is already published, but the github link is not working yet.

"Maintenance mode" by software and hardware button is not in this release because I'm too lazy to solder it to my pumps...
And I'm preparing for my honeymoon vacation in June
There are so many things to do to prevent possible disasters in my tank. So maybe it'll be some weeks before the next major release, but feel free to add some concerns; it's easy to fix some bugs or tinker with some functionality.

The restart has worked. Thanks and congratulations on your wedding! Does the software automatically attempt to reconnect to the MQTT broker if the connection drops? I've noticed on some occasions it disconnects and the only way to reconnect is to restart the pump.

It has, but I just checked one negative scenario and found out a crash.
Thank you for feedback.
Fix in v1.1.2, please upgrade leave feedback if problem still reproducing.

Currently, when it's reaching 0,
I can add some custom notifications with an adjustable level. If you have a view of how it should be, feel free to share your thoughts.

I made a series of improvements to the MQTT feature. Should be more robust now.
Also, the controller will publish uptime (~ every 20 seconds) and version, so it'll be easier to localize MQTT connection issues.
Note that controllers now subscribe to the $SYS/broker/uptime topic.
This is mandatory for keeping the connection alive.
It exists by default in the Mosquito MQTT broker, but if you use another broker, please leave a message if this "topic" does not exist.

I would also like to suggest some innovations...
It would be nice to develop a dashboard on the main page and display the main parameters of the pumps, for example:
To also be able to instantly switch to the pump from the dashboard...
