Left the computer off and unplugged all night and then, this morning, tried connecting all of the Aquabus devices to the Hubby in hope that maybe the system just needed a good nights sleep...
Nope, still messed up and acting odd:
First login today:
- Aquaero connected and seems to be working, but does not show the Flow Rate from the Flow Sensor anywhere, and the Pumps tab is empty.
- The Flow Sensor is connected, but seems to have changed Aquabus address from 12 (which it was yesterday by default) to -1. It also is giving the full Configuration page in Aquasuite, with the correct (I think) reading of around 280L/H and all the calibration options visible and accessible. Yesterday I remember it just showing the Flow Rate with nothing else on the page.
- Pumps - one is connected and the speed can be changed. The other is not connected in Aquasuite.
Hoping it might make a difference, I ticked the options on the Aquaero/Aquabus Tab to Synchronise Time with Devices, and also to Reduce Aquabus Speed to avoid errors.
After restarting the system (I did not plug/unplug anything):
- Aquaero not connected in Aquasuite.
- Flow Sensor connected but now showing up as 2 SEPARATE MPS tabs in Aquasuite. One shows full config page but Flow Rate reading as 0.0L/H, and shows a Device Type as "mps flow 100 (53130)" with Aquabus address -1.
The other tab does not have the full config page but does show Flow with a ~280L/H reading. This one show a Device Type as "high flow USB (53129)" with Aquabus address 12.
The two tabs show different serial numbers.
- Pumps - there is one other mps tab showing as USB not connected. The second pump is missing, though I suspect it is actually one of the misread Flow Sensor tabs mentioned above.
Decided to Shut Down, unplug power cable, and leave for 5 mins. I did not touch the Aquabus or USB cables or anything.
After powering back on:
- Aquaero not connected in Aquasuite.
- Flow Sensor connected and back to just one tab. Config page shows only Flow Rate @~280L/H (no calibration options). Device Type is "high flow USB (53129), Aquabus address 12.
- Pumps - one is connected and shows the pump @4819 rpm. Device Type is "Aqua Computer D5 (41093)" and Aquabus address is 12.
Second pump is not connected in Aquasuite.
Finally Shut Down, unplugged power cable, and unplugged the Pumps and the Flow Sensor from the Hubby. Gave it 5 mins and then powered back on:
- Aquaero connected and functional, but does not show Flow Rate from Flow Sensor, and Pumps tab is empty. This is expected as...
- Flow Sensor and Pumps all show as Not Connected in Aquasuite.
This is all so erratic it's hard to know where the fault is. Is a device malfunctioning? Is it a driver issue?
Each device seems to work fine when I can access it, but it seems impossible to get them all connected together.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions
