frankdr Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 ah - I was going to ask about the collection time. Right now I'm tracking all my WC's tests, additions in Excel. This looks like a great option. I'll give it a try for a while and see how it goes. Being an IT/Dev guy - this stuff catches my interest. Link to comment
frankdr Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So - what's the trick to get the signature image to show? I'm getting the URL, not the image itself ( as you can see from my current sig.lol) Link to comment

I'm getting the URL, not the image itself ( as you can see from my current sig.lol) on the profile signature page, there is an image icon just like this forum post screen. click that image icon and paste your photo's image url into the box.

frankdr Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Got it. Thanks. Interestingly, when I use IE11 on Win8, the editing options on this site work odd, even in compatibility mode. Chrome works great. I've been dropping some feedback on the site on the feedback link. This is really looking good.. Link to comment

I'll have to check this out, as i've been using chrome and firefox.. i tested in IE briefly to make sure all functions worked, though. What exactly was it doing? Link to comment
frankdr Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I was clicking on the left and right arrows at the top of the calendar control and nothing was happening. I went back to try it again and it worked. I switched the site into Compatibility Mode. Maybe that did it - or maybe it was a fluke. Either way - it seems to be fine now. Link to comment

I think the moral of the story is, IE stinks In either case, i'll take a look at it. I didn't build that calendar javascript; it's part of jquery-ui. Thanks for the heads up.. On another note, I've just added dosing. You can now add what you're dosing your tank and see it on your non-public dashboard in a list. I'll be adding it to the public dashboard soon after I've tested it on the private dashboard for a bit. Link to comment
HawtDogFlvrWtr Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Also, I made the heater detection piece work with a like statement. Now your aquacontroller just needs to have heater somewhere in the name.. Link to comment
HawtDogFlvrWtr Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Two new features. 1. Dosing info can be added 2. Added a notebook page that lists all manually entered parameters in a table format. All information can now be exported to csv for viewing locally in excel or the like. I'm going to be implementing a csv import tool also, if you already have an excel document. Stay tuned Link to comment
malawian Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 still really hoping to be able to see on/off figures in chart form. I want to compare when my ATO turns on to the rise in pH since Im using kalk. Link to comment
HawtDogFlvrWtr Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 @malawian, I'm working on it. I add that to the list; just need to work out the other priorities, first. Link to comment

frankdr Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I tried the data export feature. Very nice. Now I can enter my data here and not have to re-enter it again if I want to use it somewhere else. I'm thinking a CSV upload might be a faster way to upload than the UI. Looking forward to giving that a try. I also see that the heater stats is showing up in my display. How do you determine that it's in use? Outlet status? Link to comment

Looking forward to giving that a try. I also see that the heater stats is showing up in my display. How do you determine that it's in use? Outlet status? Frankdr, yes, it's from the outlet status. We store all outlet readings. I then generate the percentage based on how much data we've received and the number of times your heater has been on. Link to comment
frankdr Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ok, makes sense. if you have a thermometer-based heater that turns itself off and on, it will show 100% since the outlet is always on... Too bad the Apex doesn't show amp per outlet - that would let you gather some much more interesting data. You could tell if the heater is running based on the amp draw for the outlet Link to comment

Too bad the Apex doesn't show amp per outlet - that would let you gather some much more interesting data. You could tell if the heater is running based on the amp draw for the outlet the appropriate setup for the apex is to have the heater on a port thats linked to the apex temperature sensor. At least, that's how the documentation is shown for it. That way, the apex controls the heater, completely. If it's configured this way, then the percentage I provide will be accurate. This goes for heaters with a termostat and heaters without (though i've not seen one) On another note, frankdr is in the #2 spot for winning the $20 BRS gift certificate for March. You're on the heels of prdubois. Keep it up! Link to comment
frankdr Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'll be on the road this week - and weekdays the next 3 weeks - so not too many updates One the plus side - by Nuvo 8 will have plenty of time to cycle without me being in a rush to throw some critters in there. Link to comment
Walker Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 A couple of things to note: 1. I'd like to be able to see automatic handling of timezones. Mine defaults to an Eastern time zone even though I'm from BC. 2. My heaters are named Heater150_1 and Heater150_2, but it doesn't detect them for the purposes of figuring out how long the heaters have been on. 3. It would be nice to be able to have reminders to do stuff (say, I need to replace GFO in 6 weeks). Link to comment
Walker Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 How is this project going? I haven't seen much updates in a while. Link to comment
HawtDogFlvrWtr Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I no longer have a reef tank, but the site has been resorected because I have a iwagumi inspired freshwater tank. DNS is currently still transfering, but all features are back online, and all signatures will automatically start working again as soon as DNS is fixed. All features are now being worked on again, and since i'm getting divorced, I should have a hell of a lot more time to get things done.The current site is http://162.208.10.219/, until DNS is resolved.
