Add water level expansion module, 1<<7
Display water level expansion values on screen somewhere.
It's type is a % from 0 - 100
Add preference for label
Add preference for displaying

Start the update service when the device boots

Change the active profile automatically.
The change can be done either of 2 ways:

• by gps / location proximity - whenever you get near "home" it switches to your home profile and whenever you leave "home" it switches away
• by wifi / network connectivity - whenever you disconnect from wifi or are no longer connected to your home wifi network (specified via setting) automatically switch to away profile.

There are only 6 inputs on the I/O device. 0-5. Remove the 7th (6)

Change the layout of the status screen to better hide the hidden rows. Currently if the row is hidden, it displays as a blank line. This creates extra gaps if the hidden fields are in the middle of the status information.

Consider:

• use a relative layout
• hide the table row instead of the individual columns / fields

When in the preferences screen, when you download the labels, the labels are downloaded and updated however they are not updated when viewing in the Preferences screen. You must exit the preferences screen to see the changes.

Don't update or try to update the status if network connectivity is lost

Create a homescreen widget

Start with something simple

• Allow for single temperature to be displayed
• Display relay box like on the controller, either a single row of green/red boxes in line to indicate relay status
• Show last update time (possibly)
• Tapping / Clicking will launch the Status Application (or ability to disable click)

Change to using a content provider instead of having the application directly insert the values. This would be beneficial so we are not broadcasting a lot of data to the apps. It would mean that other applications can request data directly from the database. It would simplify and decrease memory usage.

Add in the ability to

• query values

Ability to download the new labels and save them.

• PWM Expansion
• Custom Variables
• IO Channels
• PH Expansion

If the background / update service is unable to reach the controller for whatever reason, display an error message.

Display a notification in the notification area of the android device indicating that there is an error of some type. The error will most likely be the same error message that is displayed in the Update Status text inside the main app.

Also, consider changing the background of the widget to be RED or put an "alert" icon on the widget at well to catch the users attention. This extra step may not be needed.

Add in ability to toggle channel visibility on the dimming module page

Give the ability to change the colors of the status text from their default values.

When the app is updated from a previous version, a Whats New screen should popup highlighting the major changes made to the app.

Display the IO Channel status

Add in a page that displays the Vortech values:

• Mode
• Speed
• Duration

Show the values in 2 columns: Label VALUE

Add in ability to toggle displaying custom variables on the custom page.
Hides variables that are not in use.

Add in a preferences screen to toggle the ability of the expansion devices:

• Radion
• Vortech
• AI
• Dimming

ORP and Salinity are handled on the Controller Status page

Add in the ability to configuration the visibility of the PH label

Update the string names to be more uniform and consistent.

Have an option to enable logging support. This will allow you to have the full output of the progress be saved to a file. It will also log all the error messages during communication as well.
Also give the option to

• "Email the log" (to Roberto, Curt or another recipient)
• Delete / Clear log file

Under the Expansion section in the Preferences Screen, the settings currently are specific to relay expansion boxes. This needs to be changed to allow for the additional expansion pages.

Move the settings: Quantity, Expansion Labels, old 085x mode
To a Relay / Relays page

page switching and displaying works as desired if all the modules are enabled.
if you have a later module enabled but not a middle module, the lower/middle module is displayed and the later one is not.

If you long press on the value, a popup window shows up and allows you to edit the value. You will get a "Change" / "Cancel" button window with the possible values.
Mode will contain a text list of the possible values
Speed and Duration will contain an edit box with the current value and then the ability for you to change it to a new value. Range validation will be performed before allowing the user to set the value.

Add in the ability to display the Dimming Expansion values
Give ability to change the labels for the dimming expansion channels, 1 - 6
Display in linear list for portrait
Display in 2 column format for landscape

Allow user to configure whether or not the application title is displayed / showed or not. (Aka, going to full screen mode)

When changing the type from a controller to a portal, the relay buttons are able to be clicked when they shouldn't be. Nothing gets updated, but the action should not happen. The same holds true vice versa. When changing back to a controller, you are not able to click the toggle buttons to change the relays.

This is fixed if you restart the application.

Look at the OnPause / OnResume functions inside StatusActivity.
Need to look at clearing the onclicklisteners and setting the clickable value to true/false appropriately.

Add in a Read Only / Monitor mode

What can be done:

• get controller status
• read memory values
• get version
• get date & time
• download labels from portal

What cannot be done:

• change / write memory values
• change date & time
• enter / exit feeding and water change modes
• toggle relays

Add in an option on the Preferences Screen to download the module settings from your Portal. Not sure where this would go on the Preferences Screen.

The current values for the variables:

• if (EM & 1<<0) then it would enable the PWM window or display the %s on main window.
• if (EM & 1<<1) then it would enable the RF window or display the mode, speed and duration on main window
• if (EM & 1<<2) then it would enable the Aqua Illumination window or display the Aqua Illumination %.
• if (EM & 1<<3) then it would display the salinity on main window
• if (EM & 1<<4) then it would display ORP on main window
• if (REM & 1<<0) then enable expansion relay box 1 window and so forth for additional relay boxes

Give the ability to change the background color from black to whatever color the user wants.

Add in a screen / page to view the Radion information

Display in 2 column format
Display:

• White
• Royal Blue
• Red
• Green
• Blue
• Intensity

For the larger screens, use a coral reef background image behind the status screens.
Should be displayed in the pager window, behind the statuses.

switch service to use onStartCommand instead of onStart.
see onStartCommand documentation for ways to handle versions prior to api level 5
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/02/service-api-changes-starting-with.html

Add in the ability to change the labels of the relay boxes. Currently, they are displayed as:

• Main Relay
• Expansion Relay 1
• Expansion Relay 2
• etc

Update the landscape views for:

• Dimming
• Radion
• I/O
• Custom

Have the views in 2 column formats

move the database functionality to it's own package inside the application

Labels are not being updated after being downloaded from the forum. The parsing fails. The problem is with all the new label tags that have been created that conflict with the other tags. Most specifically the PWME tag is causing a problem. The custom variable and io variables may cause problems too.

Display a percent sign after the value on the radion page.
Not sure if this is desired or not.

Allow the user to specify what network connection to use for updating the status
List box

• All networks
• Wifi Only
• Wifi and Mobile

add the following fields to the database

• water level
• ph expansion

Add PH Expansion module, 1<<6
Display PH Expansion module on main screen below ORP
Add preference for displaying
Add preference for label
Add field to database

Add the ATO port displaying on the status page

Add a page/screen to display the AI information
Have the labels be the same color and name as the channels:

• white
• blue
• royal blue

Add in a page to display the custom variables
Add in preference screen to change the labels for the Custom Variables
If label is changed, display the variable in parenthesis
Display the value of the variable
Screen Layout would look like this:

(C#) Custom Var: VALUE

Allow to specify the update interval for the service:

• Never / Manual (default)
• 5 m
• 10 m
• 15 m
• 30 m
• 1 h
• 4 h
• 6 h
• 12 h

Pressing the refresh button forces and immediate update

It's reported that only port 0 is being toggled on/off with the status of the IO ports.

Need to confirm this.

Improve landscape layout for relays. Instead of it being a linear list, change to a 2 column format.
The format would be like this:

Label1: STATUS1 STATUS2 :Label2

or remove the ':' completely

Improvements for host validation to ensure proper hostname.

Improve the relay overridden image. Currently a green circle. Could possibly improve the display and size of the image.

The new release of the libraries will be using new memory locations.

Need to update the app to work with both new and old locations:

• Ability to choose new locations or old location
• Add new location list
• Menu option to "Update settings based on software version"
• Add to first run screen
