    Tracking and displaying total dose over a 24-hour period

    Maybe adding a log entry every day at 00:00:01 that states the cumulative dosing amount for the previous 24 hours: 00:00:00-23:59:59. As long as the period is consistent with each daily log, I think that mitigates the "what is a day" issue. Then maybe part of that daily log also add other...

    0-10V Output Drive Port Extender

    Yeah I considered making a DC switch box for the 0-10v port that used this same assembly but never got around to it. Plus amount of touch labor and assembly time would increase the cost significantly. But this is exactly what I’d suggest using for sure.

    0-10v quad cable

    Yes that's what it sounds like he needs. I might be able to make you a custom breakout box based off my design that uses 2 cables to 1 box and split the terminals so that you have 2 input ports, and 2 output ports. One cable would go to the 0-10V input port, and one cable to the 0-10V output...

    0-10v quad cable

    This is how you would wire it up.

    0-10v quad cable

    Here is a 6 ft one: https://www.amazon.com/Fancasee-Replacement-Connector-Headphone-Earphone/dp/B08133YLZ7/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1Q25PLAR34BYH&keywords=TRS+1%2F8%22+cable+pigtail&qid=1643215076&sprefix=trs+1%2F8+cable+pigtail%2Caps%2C54&sr=8-8

    0-10v quad cable

    While not as cheap, another option would be to get one of these breakout boxes and use it on the 0-10V output port. Both the 0-10V input and output ports are the same pinout so these boxes can be used for inputs or outputs...

    JBA 0-10V Breakout Boxes

    How accurate does it seem? does it need to be calibrated?

    0-10v output

    Just missed it. Black Friday is the only time they have ever gone on sale. They were 10% off. So unfortunately I don’t see them going on sale again til next year. The best non-black Friday deal that’s out there currently are these packages: control x4 starter pack plus a free breakout box and...

    Schedule option for Modes

    I can’t find this posted yet but figured I’d add it. It would be very handy if you could add a schedule option to modes. Be handy esp with the auto feeder as well. Just a suggestion.

    JBA 0-10V Breakout Boxes

    The 5v ports on the box are for low current applications only. Under 150mA. This sensor has a peak of 150mA which might be on the hairy edge. It might work but you can’t power anything else on your 0-10v input or output port.

    JBA 0-10V Breakout Boxes

    Yes that one looks like a better fit. I would still recommend using an external 5v supply to power it.

    JBA 0-10V Breakout Boxes

    So I was able to connect this sensor up with an external 5V power supply, but after reading the datasheet more it appears this might not be the best sensor for Hydros. The sensor is correctly reading a voltage output based on apparent changes in CO2, but looking at the sample code provided the...

    JBA 0-10V Breakout Boxes

    I have this sensor on my desk right now but haven’t had time to try it out. It requires an external power supply since it draws more power than hydros can provide on the 0-10v input. DFROBOT Gravity: Analog CO2 Gas Sensor for Arduino...

    0-10v output

    Both the X4 and full Wave Engine have 0-10V output ports.

    Hydros no status page after adding alkatronic

    Can you please submit a ticket/email to support@coralvue.com ?

    JBA 0-10V Breakout Boxes

    In theory yes, you could be able to use any input type (including analog types) to trigger outputs to on/off.

    Unfortunately those are not related to any API.

    0-10V output functionaity

    Its possible but you cant just tie multiple outputs together without risking damage to the Hydros. You'd need diodes to prevent voltage/current from being back driven on unused channels.

    0-10V output functionaity

    Unfortunately with the current options, you can't output more than 2 voltages on a single 0-10V output (other than a variable lighting schedule, but that doesnt help you here). The reason is because 1) you cant assign multiple "outputs" to the same 0-10V output channel, and 2) you can't use a...
