Hi Ramana, glad you were able to get it working, sorry I forgot to mention to change the "username" in that command to the username you have setup.
At some point the manual will be built into the app, each page will have a ? mark icon that explains how it works, at least that's what I'm thinking now however there still lots of things I need to do so that's kind of on the back burner.
Thanks for letting me know about the icon / custom name saving issue, I'll take a look at that.
Currently when the controller reboots all ports are turned off then it immediately goes through the schedules to see if any ports should be on based on them, if so it'll switch on. It also runs through the custom rules and does the same. For example with the heater, that does require 2 custom rules, one to turn on another for off. When the controller boots it'll check the temp sensor based on the rules and turn the heater on if required. A dedicated heater/chiller system is something I'm working on next, this will make it easier to work with and will allow backup sensors and some other features.
I'm thinking about adding an option for custom rules to trigger when the controller reboots, this would allow you to set how long it should take for some equipment to turn on such as the skimmmer.
The same will be for the ATO, it'll have it's own page, that's what the ATO icon at the top is for. Today you need to create 2 custom rules to setup the ATO like the following.
If sensor 1 is not touching water for 60 seconds turn on outlet 2.
If sensor 1 OR sensor 2 is touching water for 2 seconds turn off outlet 2.
The off rule is an example if you use a backup sensor as well.
As for the delay for a skimmer that's something I will have to add, if you control the skimmer with the custom rules you can add a delay before it switches the outlet on. This delay is on the "You can add a delay before the equipment is switched!" page when you create the custom rule.
Sorry to say but all this will take some time, unfortunately at this time it might not be able to do everything you need. If you want to post some pictures of the custom rules you've made I can verify what should happen.
