Robo-Tank v6.0 is Ready - Now v6.5

[Craig]

Hi Rob, been using Robo-Tank now for the last 6 months or so, just rewired and tidying up, I added a float switch on my ATO reservoir the idea being that when its empty it will stop the pump being triggered to stop pump running endlessly if the tank is empty

So I set up two rules for ATO as follows

IF sump level is not touching AND reservoir is touching then turn pump on
IF sump level is touching OR reservoir is not touching then turn pump off

This resulted in my pump turning on but emptying my whole ATO reservoir(not a major as I didn't fill it right up as a precaution)


I can't seem to get the rules working with 2 sensors either won't turn on or won't turn off

Any clues
By the way hope you get your mojo back I like ROBO-TANK and would hate to see it fade away. Lets all hope that the Pi shortage sorts it self out.

Cheers 

Craig

Ignore, got it working I think it had something to do with delays being different, set them all for 1 second and is working fine

Oh and a quick word of support, I love you're hardware and have been spreading the love on NZ reefing forums(whether you get any business ornate but I' trying). Your software I prefer over Reef-Pi cleaner and haven't had many issues(no deal breakers anyway) I had issues with Reef-Pi too. I think we should all appreciate the effort Rob has put in, I have purchased 2 RoboTank controllers and love them. Rob replaced a faulty power board(at much expense as I am in NZ so freight$$$$ no questions asked for me and spent a lot of his time helping on his free software, Yes it has had bugs but wee all went in eyes open as he never said it was a finished polished product. Yes this software is based around his hardware but thats his Business model and His hardware isn't locked to his software and reef-pi is also able to be used or you can develop your own I started but realised how much work is involved and happy with Robo-Tank and if this doesnt work out for Rob we still have the best controller/interface between Reef-Pi and Raspberry Pi available.


I. have looked at other options and the only thing that comes close is a PLC with HMI and Ladder programming but talking $$$ once you start getting into analog and digital inputs, 12v and 240v outputs, wifi expansion and networking  and HMI interface. 
I really hope you carry on Rob and love the work and outstanding customer service you provide. I get the impression that being hounded isn't exactly motivationg you but dont let it get to you.

I really hope supply issues ease and your Business model works out

Thanks Mate you're a legend
