Got it Rob! Super easy update process btw. I’ll play around with it the next couple of days and let you know if I run into any issues. I’m also keeping a small list of wants/issues as I tinker. So far I’ve been able to do more with robotankv6 then I was able to do with reefpi. For instance today I was able to get a physical micro switch to trigger my solenoids and pump on.
Tomorrow it’s going to be integrating all of my high/low sensors with the switches and solenoids. My setup I plug a 5gallon bucket into a port to fill up her a RO chamber, saltwater chamber, or empty a wastewater chamber. An example of the logic: ***alert email when low saltwater sensor is triggered*** Fill Saltwater button pressed manually> saltwater container High sensor doesn’t detect water> turn on fill/ external solenoid (immediately) > turn on wastewater valve (immediately ) > turn on peristaltic pump to pull water in (5 seconds) > turn off wastewater valve (15s) > turn on saltwater valve..
Then a separate rule will shut off everything once high water, or the chamber filled, is detected. We’ll see how that rule impacts when I want the system to do an AWC. I’m worried it may override another rule hen I want to open the saltwater valve. If it does, maybe in a future update rules could trigger schedules and schedules could trigger rules. Example: rule one runs…it hits a schedule (or something) that activates use 2, once rule 2 runs it hits a schedule that turns off rule 2. Idk if any of that made sense lol.
Other things in debugging I’ve noticed is I’m having to restart the controller after every rule update.
When I do that, I have a schedule set so all my AC stuff is supposed to be on 24/7. If I have a rule built like “feed mode”..push a button to turn off pumps…after a restart all of the AC items will restart as well, and/or the items that I wanted in “feed mode” will be off like the rule ran on restart (it shouldn’t have).
I have that happen almost every time. Not a big deal for me atm but I could see where a random pump could turn on cause it’s in a “rule” and cause issues.
Phew sorry for the novel…I think that’s it for now!
Correction, let me test tomorrow if I actually need to restart. After I posted I started to have doubts lol. The power on thing though after a restart is happening. I’ll get some screenshots tomorrow as well.
