Digital Aquatics Archon Owners Thread

[Arnok666]

I'm wondering if you can control the pan tilt zoom functions while watching a camera through Archon interface. I'm about to order a camera and I do t want to pay extra for something I can't use

No, i have tried the archon with 2 ptz
No control.
But thats what phone apps are for.
I tried trendnet and a dlink cam. Both ptz
I recommend as high a megapixel cam as you can afford.

But the webcam frame on the archon is just a pictureframe.

I don't think so. I can get to my webcam without using the link on the Archon if I need.

String them in series and when one or more doors are open you will have a open switch at the swith input. Then just use the switch function. use your switch port with these switches on the on when and off when statments. on when open and off when closed.

Worked like a charm once again. Next question lol. I have a float switch at the bottom of ATO reservoir and would like the system to send me a text and email when it closes and if possible turn the pump off until it opens again. I tried but what ever I do the ato stays off unless I remove the alarm.

Is it open or closed when the reservoir is low? I used an alarm to do this. Just remember when using inputs like switches that you need to set the trip point to .5 for it to work. Check trip when low if the switch is closed when level is low.

Ill give that a shot tonight. On a different note has anyone heard if this new update will have anything to do with the Jebao Cross flow pumps? I know they were working on it and I read they should be an update today.

I think update is for other things. You should be happy with it though.

This could be somewhat off topic and if so please disregard, but there appears to be discontent in the Apex camp over the release of their updated controller. While I don't have an Archon, the new Apex looks to be a knockoff of the Archon that Apex users bashed.

I'm curious what it was that Apex users bashed about the Archon besides including wireless? I think wireless should be available and available to control wireless enabled equipment like lighting but I still much rather hardware the controller to the network myself.

First thing I thought of when I saw the new controller was profilux.

By bashing I suppose I meant more from a customer support position by DA.

That doesn't surprise me. A lot of people seem to write the Archon off because of some bad experience with the Customer support they had with the reefkeeper. All while never actually giving it a shot. I for one have never had a bad experience with support of the Reefkeeper or Archon. Once people starting trying it out I think it will get very popular, its a solid controller.

Something like this?

ATO will not run when reservoir is low or the water level in the sump is high. I also have a timer that allows the ATO to run for 6 minutes and then not for another 2 hours.

Just wanted to add that the new update rolled out. I got an email telling me it was available. Got home did the update and everything is spot on. Archon is really hitting the target . Good job DA team!!!

Snazzy new webpages. Software and webpages updates were both quick. Before this update I had 1,024 hours of up time. Very happy with my Archon.

 

[puckett26]

Man the Web interface is noticeably faster. I like!

I agree with all the comments on the latest updates. Loving the new look and speed of switching between screens.

 

[Pickupman66]

The new updates are nice. more speed, better look to the buttons and other elements.
