OK, ACII is working great. I have a bunch of x10 modules and have automated MH lights, Moonlights, heat, wavemaker, auto top off.
Now I have automated my Kalk stirrer and have run into the 56 statement limit. Is there anyway around this? The way they have it setup it takes 3 statements to do anything (default, ON, OFF). I was going to have my Kalk topoff every 2 hours so it would be a consistent slow addition of Kalk. But I ran out of statements, so I backed off to every 4 hours. But I am going to be setting up auto water changes soon and I will run out of statements again.
I tried to use OSC to stir then allow to settle then pump to topoff. But there is no way I can see to keep a snow storm from happening at some Point. At some point the OSC commends are going to overlap. Also, I don't like the idea of not knowing when things are happening. I don't see a way to get the OCS command to start at say midnight, It seems to start when you upload the program.
The ACIII Timer statement would help this, but the II doesn't have that. I am thinking about getting another powerline module to hook to my PC and use the Powerhouse software to control things that don't need to go through my controller. Things that don't need to interact with temp and PH, like the sump light, auto topoff and kalk stirrer.
Anyone beat this issue with the ACII?
