I got to see total darkness. It was awesome! FYI, I've been doing a lot of projects lately with MQTT. That might be the key for your Cloud service setup. |

So Alexia compatible smart plugs are down to $15 each, and are fully app and cloud enabled: https://www.amazon.com/Plug-Work-Ale.../dp/B075WPMB27
I've got four of them running now, and have only had one failure in several months. (Outlet was on, but pushing the button on the device did nothing, had to reboot it). Anyone know what they use inside of them? I'm thinking that if they can do full app/cloud integration for $15, then it should be possible to do something similar for a controller, or at least piggyback on the cloud infrastructure for simple lights on/off type commands. Mine uses the Smart Life app, which has several dozen choices when I go to add a device, including "other". |

You can get a lot of cloud outlet controllers that already have ESP8266 inside. I have a few that I have hacked/put new firmware on, and connected them directly to my MQTT server.

I'm having trouble with the ultrasonic sensor. Maybe I wired it incorrectly. Is is needed to connect the trigger with 5V in over a 3.3k Ohm resistor? I may have read the shematic wrong.

etc. However, I don't think I will be able to find the html code to add to the htm file to make sure the values are printed on the webpage under the sensor part. Can somebody point me in the right direction? thanks! |

Any thoughts on how to add more "fans" with only the rpm (/flow) showing on the web page? I would like to name them aswell (flow return, flow reactor 1, flow reactor 2, flow cooler). It would be nice if I could add a expandable part "flow sensors" to the webpage, but I would already be happy if it showed on the pwmfans part. |

A quick question about the tacho pin for fan rpm measurement. Is it connected directly to the arduino pin? When I was testing with directly connected to arduino, I got a decent reading for 100% speed but when I lowered the pwm, I got the maximum speed regardless of my pwm setting...

ronnyking --
Yep, the fan tach is connected directly to the arduino pin. I've had that same issue at times, for me it was incorrect wiring... I had a flipped +12v and PWM signal once, had the PWM flipped with the TACH another time. I'd suggest getting out a multimeter and testing each of the four pins as you go from 0% to 50% to 100% on the fans. That was the cleanest way of identifying which pin was which -- if you have the ground pin connected to the multimeter ground, you should see 0V across the +12v pin at 0% speed and 12v at both 50% and 100% speed... whereas the voltage across the PWM pin should increase as you ramp up fan speed. I can commiserate though, for whatever reason the fan circuits and wiring have given me a lot of trouble, often because a pin gets swapped somewhere and then I have to trace it back to where I went wrong. |

I've been seeing intermittent bad pH readings a couple of times each day. I'll get a log value of -1, those values show up on the graphs too and I've seen them appear when watching the scrolling readings on the LCD. I'm a bit stumped on how to proceed.
I've swapped the EZO pH stamp and the carrier and the issue persists. I tested it on a second bench setup and the issue persists as well. I have two EZO stamps -- COND and pH -- and they're both connected via I2C since I wasn't able to get a connection using serial. Haven't yet bought a new pH probe, but thinking that may be the next step... Might try to get the serial mode working, but I don't know if that could cause this issue. Anyone else experience a similar problem? |

Has any has this error the file does exist as I put the libraries in the libraries folder as told to on the instructions

I managed to get that all sorted but the problem is now that I have tried 5 different ethernet shields and I've had no luck in any of them connecting to the Internet. Does anybody have an idea why this is or how to solve it. I've checked all the files and they were all pre edited??

I guess it is not problem in Ethernet shield but in installation and configuration of your Arduino environment. On your previous screenshot it is visible as compile does not find all required libraries so also code is not compiled in right way! First fix that so open instruction and go step by step to set-up everything according to instructions and then code compilation should be done without errors. Then check your devices and settings update files and then try again! |

Yea I got past that error forgot to put the libraries in the correct folder. It was only after the upload I found out that they refused to connect to the Internet. I followed the instructions to the letter but have had no luck

There are no errors compiles error free. I think it's software side as all the sheds I've tried work with the example Web server. But with the neptune server I'm getting nothing even the router is not showing the wired connection when running neptune so for some reason it's unable to connect running the software

Did you format SD card as it should be and place all required files on it? You hear any beebs after reset controller? Did you check what you get on serial line after reset? Last edited by teslo; 01/07/2018 at 11:40 AM. |

I have now worked out what's going on I have a dodgy ph stamp and waiting for it to come through in the post. What is that I comment out exactly for temp and ph as I've gone by what was said in a previous post. I've tried following it but I'm getting a lot of java script errors and I'm being made to edit other parts of the code as it won't let me compile until I put something. If there is anyone that has done this before please can you help me with the exact process please
