+--- Thread: ac dosing pump timer not working v6.0 (/thread-1247.html)
ac dosing pump timer not working v6.0 - zstreetreef - 10-21-2021
I have an ac dosing pump like BRS pump. I configured the port on the power bar to dosing pump. I went to configure the dosing pump under settings, click the dose button and it dosed perfectly. I set the timer to dose every 12 minutes and nothing. The icon does not show up on the dashboard either. what am I doing wrong.

Hi, it sounds like you are doing things correctly, the icon won't show on the dashboard as it's now a dosing pump so you only see the reservoir. How did you setup a timer every 12 minutes as that's not possible unless you created over 100 schedules. I just did a quick test by creating a schedule and it ran.
One thing to note but probably unrelated. For now at some point if the dashboard is left open it will automatically log you out but you won't know it as the temperatures keep updating however the dosing pump reservoir won't update until you refresh the page and log back in.

using reef-pi I can set the ac outlet to run every 12 minutes for 10 seconds. Can v6.0 be setup to do the same?

That can't be done yet, you need to add a schedule for each time you want it to run so it doesn't work for lots of schedules in a day.

I will switch to a dc dosing pump. Love the robo-tank controller.

Sounds good, I will be improving that down the road. Glad you're liking it.
