Smart Reef Actions

We would like to share with you our new cool feature called Actions.

• General information

Actions is the feature which integrates our Smart devices. You can add Actions to different devices and create Actions between them.

Actions integrates the devices added to the same Aquarium, so please make sure that before you start to create Actions you have all the devices assigned to the same aquarium (menu on the left in the Smart Reef panel).

In this example we are going to integrate Dosing Pump with kH keeper. Please make sure that your Dosing Pump firmware is up to date.

You can update your device from the Smart Reef panel.

• Where to find the Actions panel?

It’s avalible in the menu on the left under you tank in this case A Sps (new system).

When you click on ACTIONS it takes you to this panel:

• How to start using Actions?

Please click ADD ACTION

Next, Action creation screen should appear:

In this step it is required to choose Kh keeper:

Next step: choose command from the list:

The choice depends on you. If you want to create the Action to add extra liquid when Kh level is below the desired level, then we choose KH IS BELOW. When we want to skip part of next dose then please choose KH IS ABOVE. In the example we will show you how both Actions work.

Please choose KH IS BELOW

Next enter a value (when kH keeper result will be below the specific level of your desired dkH then the system will add an extra dose)

For this example we chose 7 dkH.

Then select the pump for the integration (we can do the same Action several times for different pumps)

For this example we have chosen the kH pump

Next we need to choose an Action which will be triggered when dkH level is bellow 7.

In this step you can see all the available Actions. So for the lower dkH level we can use MANUAL DOSE IN ML or MANUAL DOSE % from the last dose.

We will choose MANUAL DOSE % from the last dose - This means that when your Kh level will be below the 7 Kh level, then Dosing pump/s will add extra dose increased by % based on the last dose.

For this example we typed 30% so when kH level is below 7 the system will add an extra 30% liquid calculated from the last dose. So if you last dose (before measurement) was 9 ml then Dosing pump will add extra 3 ml.

The ENTER DELAY function is the number of minutes the pump will delay. This feature is helpful when you have 2 or more pumps. We don’t want to add all the liquids at one time. So when you add the next pump to the Action please type specific delay here, for instance 2 minutes. So the second pump will dose 2 minutes after the first one. When there are more than two, then the next pump should be also delayed. See below example. You can set delay in this way:

Pump 1: 0

Pump 2: 2

Pump 3: 4

Pump 4: 6

Next please click OK

If you want to add another pump to the Action please click ADD TASK. If you don’t want to add more then click the SAVE button

• How to configure Actions when Kh level is above specific result?

Again please click ADD ACTION

Next please choose Kh keeper from the list

Please select KH IS ABOVE

Enter Kh level - above this level Dosing pump/s will skip next dose or part of it. For the example we typed 8 (Kh)

Next please select the pump you want to integrate for this Action.

Then we choose skip part of next dose

Then please click OK

If you want to add next Dosing pump to this Action then please click ADD TASK but if you want to add only one then just click SAVE.

If you add several pumps to the Actions then the screen can look like this.

Thank you for your time. Those are the first two Actions which you can use to keep you Kh on your desired level.

New Actions for KH Keeper and other devices will be shared with you in near future.

Best regards
