Thanks and happy new year to you as well. Also forgot to thank you for testing driving the app, any feedback you have would be great.
The dashboard alerts aren't a thing yet, I just added that option so I didn't have to redo a bunch of screens, that is something higher on the list I want to get done. I did forget about adding a test email feature, that's something I'll definitely get to.
The on/off and off/on function in the custom rule allows you to temporary turn on/off an outlet during the custom rule. For example maybe you have one sensor but want to turn on/off or off/on an outlet or DC port you could do it without 2 custom rules.
When the controller starts up all outlets and DC ports are switched off, then the system checks all schedules for both and if a port should be on based on a past schedule it will. Very soon I'm also adding a check for custom rules during the startup, for example maybe the power went out for a period and the water level dropped and ATO needed to run, when it starts it would know the sensor isn't touching water and startup the custom rule.
Whenever you have a red dot on an AC outlet or DC port it means that port is in manual mode. When it's in manual mode nothing will change the state of that port. When the controller starts up it'll remember if a specific port was in manual mode and return to that. This is good for maintenance or whatever so something doesn't suddenly start up. If you click on the red dot it'll disappear and return to automatic mode. When things didn't work as expect this may have been the reason. The "resume" button on the dock would put everything back in automatic mode but isn't active yet.
Glad you installed on a 2nd SD card so it's easy to switch. I'm feeling confident with the reliability of the app but definitely do verify things do what they should a few times, you can view the log but there was an issue in the latest version that you may have multiple entries of the same action.
I don't have a manual for the app, I'm hoping I won't need one but maybe that's wishful thinking. At some point I want to put something like a ? image on various screens that a person could hover and get info.
