Hi, I've got an update finished, in this update more dosing pump schedules have been added, a screen lock feature, the ability to turn the screensaver into a digital clock and some improvements and fixes.
New Features & Improvements
There was a big improvement made in handling schedule times that can't be seen. This technically removes the limits on schedules and frees up a lot of memory. Because of this I'll be updating all the AC outlets and auto fish feeder to 10 schedules per day and will add more schedules (fades) for the lights.
For now the dosing pump schedules have been increased from 1 scheduled time per day to 10 times per day. When you go to the schedules menu and select the dosing pumps you get the screen below. The names under each pump can be customized in the sketch, next update the custom names will be on the SD card so you don't have to change them every update. This update will erase all the current dosing schedules so you will need to set them up again.

When you select the pump you want to adjust you get the following screen. At the top you can see the pump number your adjusting and the custom name. You can see the 10 times for the day and what days they will trigger. If no days are selected the scheduled time won't run so if you only want 2 schedules for example, the last 8 schedule times shouldn't have any X showing. If you set a schedule for 12:00am or 00:00 it should be the final scheduled time.

When you press one of the rows you get the screen below. At the top you get the dosing pump number, custom name and schedule number and can adjust the time and days for that schedule.

Next is the screen lock feature. Here you can setup a custom 4 digit pin code and turn the screen lock on/off. When the screen lock is enabled the screen will lock in 5 minutes after the last touch. When it locks you can only see the home screen or the screensaver if its enabled. If you press the screen when it is locked you come to the page below where you can enter the pin. If the correct pin is entered you'll return to the home screen and can do whatever. The default pin is 1234 and change be changed on the display. At the top of the screen in the header is a new padlock icon, this will turn green when the screen is locked.

And finally I added a digital clock feature that I promised someone long ago so I did that as well. This is built into the screensaver feature. If the screensaver is enabled and the digital clock is enabled this will be displayed when the screensaver activates. The setting to turn it on/off is located on the "customize display" screen.

Fixes
- Info from the scrolling box on home page was displaying data when screensaver was enabled
- Scheduled time for data logs/graphs could be cleared under certain circumstances resulting in no data being written to SD card
