    Hi
    I am glad someone else is started to do a smart pond , I have been using a open source software call home assistant running on a raspberry pi that monitor my water level and will turn off my blade if the water drops and send me a message on my phone using pushover apps if anything go wrong ,if you would like more information please get in touch

    I've got mine set up very similar but with alexa and tapo app. At the moment I'm just using extensions and the plugs. Not got electrician in as of yet to wire everything in. I thought things like the pump and filter etc had to be directly wired In to a switch. I may just get a few sockets installed instead. Do you have a picture of the plugs plugged in and where your electrics are? Thanks

      Its an xclear feeder matey. Thanks for tuning in 👍🏻

  • @martyncrook4890

    You can use Google home to run automation. Say turn off bottom drain, then add another and say talk to Mister Home for 5 mins, then add another and say turn on bottom drain. I use for my marine tank when feeding or cleaning.

    Hi Craig.
    Can you still turn on / off manually through the app, without interfering with the timer functions, if that makes sense.

    • @madaboutkoi
      @madaboutkoi  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes matey you can. You can even do it manually at the plug

      Also someone raised a valid point in the event of a power cut the unit wont come back on till the next scheduled activation. To get round this ive put some off/on schedules every few hours within a minute of each other. That way if the power was to go off these schedules would start it back up again
      Hope that makes sense!

    If you have a power cut does it keep the programme you have set up and time when you get power back on?

    • @madaboutkoi

      Well i havent hd a power cut yet however it shouldnt lose the settings no. Ive turned the plugs on and off which i suppose is simulating it and they work fine.

    Great video, this is the exact problem I'm facing at the moment, food being forced into the skimmer from bottom drain air., so will be looking at trying something similar. If you're feeding every 2 hours, how long is your feeder set to come on for each time?
    Again very informative video mate, thank you.

    • @madaboutkoi
      @madaboutkoi  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great, glad you got something from it mate. Currently the feeder dispenses for 20 seconds at a time matey

    • @madaboutkoi
      @madaboutkoi  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ahh i see what you mean now. Done a test and no it doesnt activate the plug back on if it was in cycle, it needs to cross that exact trigger point time wise before activating again.
      I suppose the fix for this is quite easy really. A couple of on/off schedules programmed every couple of hours would ensure the pump would only be off for a minimum amount of time if the power failed then come back on in the middle of a cycle

    Nice system 😜 Look into IFTTT (IF That Then This) for the automation technology you have. Things may start to get a little bit more freakier. Surely it won't belong until we get some consumer based smart connected pond equipment on the shelves??? e.g pumps,filters,feeders, Could be awaiting awhile #oldskool 😂🤣 🙏⛩️🈂️ KC
