Firmware 5.0.5 BETA and ProfiLuxControl 5.0.5.0 BETA

[Matthias]

and the relating documentaion is ready to download!
The new features are mentioned in the firmware history, all can be downloaded here:
http://support.aquariumcomputer.com/english/sections.php

This version was a hard job and took a lot of time. On the one hand we prepared the ProfiLux firmware for ProfiLuxControl 6, on the other hand we implemented many of the customers wishes. Of course some customers will still miss "their" functions, but this wasn't the last update...

Firmware 5.0.5 and ProfiLuxControl 5.0.5.0 are BETA-versions! Although we spent much time in testing and worked extremely carefully it isn't impossible that there are bugs - the use is on your own risk!

Save all settings and sensor data before the update in any case!
After updating ProfiLux will reset everything to defaults because the meaning of some settings has changed -> the load the settings and sensor data back to the ProfiLux.
If you experience any trouble with the new firmware or ProfiLuxControl than you can downgrade to the previous versions.

Another important hint: Since some functions and settings changed we can't guarantee the compatibility to third-party-software, e.g. iPhone Apps! If there are problems then please downgrade to the previous firmware version until these problems are solved!

That has changed:
- display brightness keeps maximal during calibration (affects ProfiLux 3 only)
- stronger and longer thunderstorms possible
- email notification through ProfiLux 3: tokens in the message are evaluated, it is possible to send emails with actual states (affects ProfiLux 3 only)
- current pumps can be assigned to pump groups in any order
- token $$SWIC$$ for displaying the current of a power outlet in a webpage (affects ProfiLux 3 only)
- supports EHEIM-Controller (control of EHEIM Professional 3e filter)
- automatic error reset in the level control
- ProfiLux 3 offers now 4 independent maintenance programs, all interfaces and sockets are included (affects ProfiLux 3 only)
- ProfiLuxControl is able to display the voltage of each 1-10V-interface
- ProfiLux reads the currents in a Powerbar-PAB, ProfiLuxControl is able to display them (affects ProfiLux 3 only)
- it is possible to use token $$OTVI$$ in loops (affects ProfiLux 3 only)
- prepared for ProfiLuxControl 6

Ever since using 5.0.5.1 I seem to have disconnects every so often ( I am rechecking my settings ,since not all pumps settings where all correct after the restore ( wave lenght etc... ) and it happened 2 times.

I hope its coinsidense, but I haven't had any for months.

I test today to unplug the powerBar6D PAB.
On my WebServer (user.html) i see the switch ON with 0.2 A (totally wrong).
And the reason of the alarm is missing on the WebServer (PL 3 show PABCOM).

I test the email notification (Profilux)
Not sending email and no error message show up.

Best regards:D

I have also noticed a couple of issues:
1. I have set my pumps to drop to 1% at night time, but it does not kick in at set time. It responds to thunderstorm settings, but I not enabled any thunderstorms.

2. Emails work via send "test" email but no emails are sent when real alert occurs.
