7 years ago Coming back to this, looks like this can be fully automated instead of configured. Now that we know reservoir volume, and that volume matches desired plant bucket total volume we can simply come up with conditions when to flush / fill or top off buckets.
-
If plant bucket's EC/PPM range rises or falls below desired range, system will top off buckets till EC/PPM range is back to normal range.
-
If plant bucket's EC/PPM range rises or falls below desired range, and system has finished a whole reservoir volume of top offs, we flush plant buckets and refill with fresh batch of auto dosed water.
The goal is to allow DRO-Matic to top off plants with it's dosed reservoir water X times between full water flushing of plants once every 7 - 14 days. This also allows the DRO-Matic to do full flushing/draining of plant water and refill with dosed reservoir for you.
To Do: Built out optional drainage/top off system that allows you to configure up to 6 Electrical Solenoid Valve (0 PSI requirement and default closed) that can be scheduled to open for X amount of seconds/minutes and can be configured to repeated hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly per valve.
First screen will ask user if they would like to turn on or off drain/top off system (off by default). If on, next screen will be number of valves (6 max as we are limited)
If on, back out on main menu you will now have:
Like channels settings, once under the new Drainage settings you will be presented with a list of available values we configured above. Under a single valve menu we have DateTime Config and Repeat Config that allows you to configure when/interval length and how long a single value will be opened for.
