Sandra the fish rookie Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 @ARMYVET I have it all set up, and the SV is giving me a "P" I have read the instructions back and fourth and it says nothing about what a P means? I also for some reason can't get it set up to my WiFi and I have no idea if its a 2.4Gh2?? How would I know that? and it appears that it has over ridden my heaters, so I can't manually set them... so I have NO idea if they are heating or not.

Sandra the fish rookie Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 For the continuous heating time? What should I set that at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 COntinuous heating time is a setting where if the tank does not come up to temp before that time it will send you a notification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMYVET Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 First of all you manually set the temps on the heaters to 5 deg above your intended temps. This way the heater itself will always be on. You want the controller to turn power on and off to the heaters not the heaters doing it.. That would defeat the purpose of controller. So if you want to keep your tank at say 78.....set the heaters to 83-84 can you take a pic of the readout so I can see what its doing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra the fish rookie Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 @ARMYVET see below: If I want to keep the tank at 78 what do I set the rest of the parameters at? @Streetwise I have AT & T 1G Fiber so I am trying to figure out what the GHz is??? I tried to look on my router, and my app and can't find that info? @Streetwise its an inkbird ITC 306A WiFi Where would I find the router information? Can you tell I know nada about IT..

Streetwise Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Do you just have the network hardware from your ISP? If so, who is your internet service provider? Maybe take a picture of the gear. It might also have print on it which identifies it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMYVET Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I would set he continuous time to 3 hours. This way if it shows it heating longer than that you can check to make sure the heaters are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra the fish rookie Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 @ARMYVET So is this what I should do? TS1 85 TS 2 84 AH 80 AL 73 Continious heating time?? Not sure what this should be its ZERO right now.. but should it be 6 hrs or more? CA (temp calibration is ??? What do I set this as? Unit F The instructions suck.. so I must be doing something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 t1 and t2 are your temp probs current temp reading. This is telling me that one probe is reading 85 deg and the other is 84 deg AH is the hight temp alarm...you set this number to 5 deg above your desired tank temp AL is the low temp alarm...you set this number to alert you to when the temp drops to a certain temp I would go 5 deg below your desired set temp. Set the continious heating temp time to 3 or 4 hours . Do not touch the calibration settings looking at your router I looked it up and it does indeed have 2.4ghz capability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra the fish rookie Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 I set them to that parameter??? the only number I see right now is 77 right now.. What should I set the probs at? I can't set my thermometer's either.. because they are plugged into the regulator. I bought the VivoSun ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 @Sandra the fish rookie, were you able to connect the app to the controller? That should have been my first question. If not, did the app provide an error message? Also, can you you get to your network settings via that https://att.com/SmartHomeManager link?

ARMYVET Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Tank each heater and plug into wall that way they get power and set them first....once they are set to 5 deg above your target temp unplug them and plug them to the controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fellow technonoob!!!! After @Streetwise & @ARMYVET help get you set up, I might ask them for help on a wifi timer I was gifted and unable to get set up😅 Fish? No problem. WiFi? I might be more effective if I didn't get so frustrated. Maybe I need more coffee first🤔 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
