Advanced Editing of the Configuration

You can manually edit the configuration on the SD card by inserting it into your computer and editing the relevant figure inside the configuration file.


The SD card will have files called “config.txt”, "conf01.txt" and "conf02.txt" which can be opened using a simple notepad editor. Each file looks something like this:

{
"test": 0,
"refreshSending": 60, 
"sensors": [ { "pin": 1,
"dt": 30, 
"realtimeTimestep": 1, "deviceType": 1, "debounce": 0,
"PPL": 119,
"maxStag": 0, 
"defaultThreshold": { 
"t": 600, 
"V": 100 
 },
"iT": 3
} ], 
"valve": 
{ "enabled": 1, "type": 2, "openPin": 5, "closePin": 6,
"t_on": 45,
"cM": 40, 
"feedback": 0
} }
  • config.txt refers to the configuration currently used by the device
  • conf01 refers to commissioning thresholds (which will rewrite config.txt on command)
  • conf02 refers to operational thresholds (which will rewrite config.txt on command)


Ignore all text crossed out. The text in blue is unlikely to change unless you change the flow meter or valve - please contact us if you need support changing these values.


The red text are the thresholds you might like to change:


  • “defaultThreshold”
    • “t” = time threshold in seconds
    • “V” = volume threshold in litres
  • “iT” = inactivity threshold in hours
  • “cM” = maximum flow threshold in litres per minute


Notes

The SD cards aren't matched to specific controllers, so they can be interchanged.
The unit will still work without an SD card as it simply loads the settings from the SD card into internal memory.
For a systemised way of changing the settings offline:
  1. Whilst powered on, take SD card out
  2. Factory reset by quickly pressing the Mode button 3 times, wait for it to restart and clear memory (about 30s)
  3. Copy your new config.txt, conf01.txt and conf02.txt files to SD card, overwriting previous ones
  4. Insert SD card
  5. Press Reset to restart the unit and load the new files
