Hi @11binary00,

ok, this is even stranger. The log from the previous posting, where you said it connected but did not react, it did not really connect at all, not detecting the light.

When you turn your bluetooth off the phone on, the tracker picks up the ble device:

[15:26:33.808][D][esp32_ble_client:207]: [0] [44:A6:E5:65:40:68] Found device
[15:26:33.808][D][esp32_ble_tracker:716]: Found device 44:A6:E5:65:40:68 RSSI=-92

but fails to connect to it.

From that line I can see that RSSI is -92. That’s the signal strength, and -92 is very very low. How far is the esp32 away from the tank? I have mine just below the tank and it’s at -82 which is already barely enough. I guess, the water will shield it quite well…

So try moving it around a bit and watch that RSSI value…

Edit: Higher value means better, so -82 is better than -92, etc.

best regards

i moved the esp to right on top of where the power cable goes into the light bar and it started to work. thank you so much for the help troubleshooting. should i delete the fluval app? are the pro mode and auto mode settings saved to the light it self? or will it loose those setting if i delete the app.

now to work on automations.
thanks so much again.

Hi @11binary00,

great to hear! Sometimes something as simple as “too far away” causes the strangest issues… :slight_smile:

I would not delete the app. The pro and auto modes are quite complex to put into a component, especialy if they would require some weird UI stuff I have no idea about. (Custom card or something…)

So my usual use case is, that I configured pro mode with the light profile I want for one tank, and use the component to switch between pro (following the light profile) and manual (lights on if I need to work on the tank when it’s dark).

On the other tank, I had it on manual only and switch the light based on sun up / sun down times, with a bit of a ramp up. So more control by HA itself than just switching modes.

If you use the app on a light, the light most likely will loose connection to the ESP32, and possibly the ESP32 will steal the connection back, so only having one active at a time is best. But as long as the app is not connected to a light, you can of course keep the app and also bluetooth enabled on your phone.

edit: Aaaaand I completely forgot to answer your question: Pro/Auto mode settings are saved on the light itself. So it’s perfectly fine to create a light profile in the app, save it to the light, and then never open the app again and just switch modes =)

Best regards

Hi @11binary00,

that looks great! I might “steal” a bit of that, since I never got around to implement a “storm” mode :).
AI has come a long way I have to admit.

I’m glad it works for you now! The coimponent also keeps the internal clock of the fluval lights updated, so even the auto/pro profiles are somewhat ok to use and won’t turn on the light at midnight if there was a power outage…

Also, if you are controling the light via HA automations, I suggest you add an RSSI sensor to monitor signal strength, just in case you want to move that ESP32 somewhere else:

sensor:
  - platform: ble_client
    type: rssi
    ble_client_id: bigtankClient
    name: "RSSI Big Tank"

Ideally, you want to keep RSSI above -80, with -50 to -70 being a good connection, -70 to -80 being “ok, but on the edge” and anything above -50 being excellent.

best regards

the formatting got weird so i delete my last post and made my own thread about the controller i updated it with biomes and animations

heres the link link to code
