    Coral Spawning with Hydros

    This hasn't been incorporated into the system yet but I have actually implemented the lunar schedule on it. I plan to add it to the production software by the end of the year. Inititally though the LEDs themselves may be somewhat of a DIY item. The mounting requirements are so different from...

    XP 8 outlet colors

    Yellow means that the current consumption is outside of the safe range specified for that outlet. So the device is either consuming more or less current than the configuration says is OK. But since it is just quick flashes it is probably right on the edge.

    IceCap Gyre default direction is reverse?

    You are correct. It should do what you say. Unfortunately our prototype IceCap 4k pumps were different from the production ones. So we got the initial setting wrong. We could easily fix it in the firmware, but then all the people who have these pumps would suddenly have their pumps suddenly...

    Example Configuration: Using Dynamic Dosing to Manage pH

    That is the dosage to use if the system doesn't know what the input is. Like if the device where the pH probe is has failed and is off line.

    Tracking and displaying total dose over a 24-hour period

    How would you envision this working? Something like a new entry at the end of the day that shows how much was dosed that day? This kind of presents the problem of "what is a day", especially since the start and end time for a given dosing schedule can cross midnight.

    Hydros Doser minimum run time and calibration

    The calibration does not affect the value shown in the config screen It is assumed that the dosing flow rate you enter manually is reasonably accurate and the calibration really just makes small tweaks. You are correct, you will not be able to do this with that doser. As you state, a 41 ml...

    Heaters on XP8 outlet

    It would be interesting to know what the dead channel on the ADJ was doing? Was it always on? Always off? Did the light go on and off? Did other channels fail as well? Was there any evidence of heating / melting? The ADJ plug strip should have had not trouble at all with a 5-6 Amp load on an...

    No Email Notifications?

    As a general rule you don't want to enable any alarm on the ATO Sensor. Wet and Dry are both normal conditions for this sensor. Instead enable the alarm on the ATO output. It will then send you an alarm if it runs too long or fails to run for too long. The alarm on the sensor is for things...

    I confused myself - Light Schedules

    Hi, I am glad it worked. You are right that it is more complex, particularly when using it as you are for Color and Intensity. However it is also much more powerful. Each schedule can control multiple lights and each light can be controlled by multiple schedules (at different times). The two...

    Manual parameter logging with Hydros control

    You are correct, all of the data you want is in our cloud server. Providing an export of this data is on our list of desired features. The server retains all data for at least 6 months.

    Hydros entry Logging

    Items (such as pH or temperature) with actual values are logged every 10 minutes. Items that are on / off (like Wet / Dry) are logged whenever they change. The data on the server is retained for at least 6 months. However the application currently only allows you to view the past 5 days. As...

    WaveEngine Output Type - Generic

    You could do this with the current firmware, but it would be a bit round about. Assign each of the 0-10V outputs to be a Flow Pump. Then create a constant schedule that runs the output at 33% all the time. Then only have that schedule active in the desired mode. 4 outputs and 4 schedules so it...

    I confused myself - Light Schedules

    Kessel Color and Kessel Intensity need to be defined as Variable Lights, not as LED Lights. LED lights are for simple lights that only turn on or off.

    Coral Spawning with Hydros

    Mike, I am going to set up a private conversation with me, you and some others here at CoralVue. Lets get into the details of this offline. I think this is a pretty cool project.

    Coral Spawning with Hydros

    Hi Mike, Hydros already has the "Latitude" lighting control mode which allows you to specify a Longitude and Latitude and it will then vary your main lights according to the sunrise / sunset schedule for that part of the world. So that handles request 3 and 4 very nicely. A Moon schedule is on...

    Reset or pause on reading?

    This is something already on our list of things to fix. The reason it isn't fixed already is because it is harder than it sounds. During the calibration the Hydros doesn't actually know it is being calibrated, it just continues to produce values. So it will require a restructure of the...

    Multiple WaveEngines without a Hydros Controller

    At 28V permanent damage to the devices can occur. You pretty much need to stay below 25V to prevent a quick transient from damaging a chip.

    Will the new X1 hydros dosers daisy chain to a single drive port?

    Also, if you do that you can only calibrate one of them and hope the other one runs at the same speed.

    Flow meter/sensor

    The next release will allow you to specify the frequency vs flow rate parameter manually. For now you might just try the choices that are already there that are closest to your pipe size.

    Signal Strength

    Press the "+" button at the top of the left hand menu (like you were going to add a new device). Your Control 4 will appear on the list of devices discovered on Bluetooth (you need to be physically close to the device). The signal strength shown here is the Bluetooth signal strength. Touch...
