1. Weird, I’ll take a look at the firmware to see why this is happening.
2. Currently the moon phase only works in Auto Sunrise mode – I assume you are using Manual? The next firmware update will enable moon phase in all Manual/Auto modes. Bug me and I can send you an advance release of this firmware if you’re up to flashing the board with an FTDI cable.I took at look at #1 and I think it is happening because the default value loaded in the EEPROM is 500, which is not one of the default levels (factors of 35, being 490 and 525). A way to regain alignment is to go all the way back down to the fine adjustment range <=70 then scroll back up, and then the counters should be aligned. I'll see about changing this for the next firmware release.
1) That makes sense. I’ll give it a try.
2) Correct. That sounds great. Can you email the release? No problem on the FTDI refresh.
One more question: The Dallas DS18B20 temperature sensor uses a one wire bus and should be able to support multiple sensors on the same bus. I have one installed in each of my fixtures. With my old controller (an Arduino based controller I coded/wired myself), I took the greater of the two readings to trigger the fan on and off. While I haven’t seen it documented, what should I expect if I wire both on the same bus to the Storm X? I assume the controller polls the bus to determine the address(s) of the sensors on the bus. If this functionality doesn’t exist, I can probably modify the sketch to add it (I honestly haven’t reviewed it yet), but that will be a pain for future firmware releases.
