Ginzo,

it is allready possible to send an email in the event of an alarm.
I wrote instructions for that, till now only in German. I will let you know when the English instructions are available. Coming soon.

[Ginzo]

ok great Matthias !

Please let us know how to send an email in the case of an alarm.

I haven't seen any instruction in the manual or any thing relating to an email in the controller Software.

Regards,
Chris

Here's how to setup the float switch:



Here's how I setup mine in my overflow, to prevent an overflow
If the water get's to high, it will activate the float switch and turn off the return pump for a period of 10 seconds.



Matthias, you should include the first picture in the Profilux Manual, I was surprised it wasn't included.

Hi Matthias,

I've been trying to figure out how I could do the following, but I haven't had any success so far, maybe you can tell me if it's possible (since I think in the current state it isn't)

Here's what I want to do:

1) When float switch (1 sensor) is activated (maximum level attained), I want it to stop my pump (water1) and activate the alarm (buzzer, it would be great if it could also send me an email).
2) When float switch (1 sensor) is not activated (normal level of water), I want my pump running (water1) permanently.

Currently, I have only been able to program the following via the PC software:

1) Set to min/max operation mode. Water 1 is permanently on. When max is attained, water 1 is permanently off. I have no way of knowing it's has been shutoff (no email, no alarm or buzzer). The only way I know it's off, is if I check to see the pump is running or not.

This operation mode will prevent me from having an overflow, but it would be great if I could achieve the scenario I described earlier.

Let me know what can be done !

Thanks,
Chris

One other thing I've noticied, sorry if I'm giving my 0.02$ here, but I figure it would be good for everyone:

On the PC software, when you want to go in Maintenance mode, the controls are a little iffy ! I'm a software engineer, so I know how hard it is to get a good interface design But, what I mean by a little iffy, is that when you go in maintenance mode, you have to first set the mode of your switchs (on or off) before checking the Maintenance mode active checkbox. Once you checked it, there's no turning back. If you forgot to activate or desactivate a switch, your screwed, you need to uncheck the Maintenance check box, and set your switches correctly and then recheck the maintenace check box.

My problem with this, is if for example I go in maintenance mode while all my lights are on and I want to simply desactivate my T5s and not the Metal Halides, but I forget to set one of the T5s on/off switch, I need to uncheck the maintenance box (and all my lights come back on..that's annoying) and then recheck it.

What would be great, is if once the Maintenance mode is checked, we can activate or desactivate (on/off) the outlets at will.

That's my 0.02$ for today !

i have a question for you matthias, i have the view II for the controller as well and it is mounted on the end of my canopy on the outside for easy access. at night the glow from this unit is extremely bright, is it possible to have the controller shut off the view II at night or a pre-programmed time?

[Matthias Gross]

@Jason: I think i know the meaning...I hope so

@Ginzo: A lot of input for me. I will check the recommendations. For level control: some extensions in the firmware are allready planned.

@niloc: Not possible, sorry.

Would it be possible to have 0,01 second adjustment for current/ short wave?
0,1 s is little coarse for Tunze wavebox...
