reef-pi future plans

Next reef pi additions will be temperature monitoring and heater control (I’ll probably move one lighting channel back to manual timer for a while)

then I’ll work toward DC control for my Jabao pump and the current LED lighting and eventually for new black box LEDs

Reef-pi step 1

I’ll write macros:

feedmode turns off the return pump for 15 minutes

water change turns off the return pump and powerhead for 1 hour

refugium lighting I’ll leave on for now, but will probably make it nocturnal once the macro grows out

two lighting channels so the dimmer ones kick on an hour before the mains and stay on an extra hour.

Dosing pumps (once acquired) will run at least daily, separated from each other.

reef-pi!

I bought a raspberry pi 4 (2GB ram) canakit, a hat from Ranthelion, and an American DJ SRP8 to get going with outlet control!

I plan to control 3 dosing pumps (AC), two lighting channels, return pump, powerhead channel, and refugium lighting channel.
