ReefBeat Skill

Direct HTTP control for Red Sea ReefBeat devices. Full API reference in references/api.md.

Quick Start

python3 scripts/reefbeat.py discover <DEVICE_IP>/24   # find all devices
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ip> info                   # device info + type
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ip> status                 # /dashboard
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ip> get /endpoint
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ip> post /endpoint '{"key":"value"}'
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ip> put /endpoint '{"key":"value"}'

Device Discovery

Run discovery to find all devices on your network automatically:

python3 scripts/reefbeat.py discover <YOUR_SUBNET>/24

ReefATO+ — Auto Top-Off

# Check ATO status (level, temp, fills)
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ATO1_IP> status
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ATO2_IP> status

# Resume after malfunction/pump_timeout
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ATO1_IP> post /resume

# Enable/disable auto-fill
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ATO1_IP> put /configuration '{"auto_fill": true}'

# Manual fill / stop

python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ATO1_IP> post /stop

# Set reservoir volume (mL)
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ATO1_IP> post /update-volume '{"volume": 10000}'

ReefMat — Filter Roll

# Check roll status
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <MAT1_IP> status   # aquarium 1 mat
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <MAT2_IP> status   # aquarium 2 mat

# Advance roll manually
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <MAT1_IP> post /advance

# Register new full roll (ReefMat250 — max diameter 11.1cm)
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <MAT1_IP> post /new-roll \
  '{"external_diameter": 11.1, "name": "New Roll", "thickness": 0.3, "is_partial": false}'

# Register started roll
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <MAT1_IP> post /new-roll \
  '{"external_diameter": 8.5, "name": "Started Roll", "thickness": 0.3, "is_partial": true}'

# Toggle auto-advance
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <MAT2_IP> put /configuration '{"auto_advance": true}'

ReefWave — Wave Pump

# Check wave status
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <WAVE_IP> status

# Start preview mode (alternating, 5min fwd/5min back, 80% intensity, 5min total)
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <WAVE_IP> post /preview \
  '{"type":"st","frt":5,"rrt":5,"fti":80,"rti":80,"duration":300000,"sn":5,"pd":10}'

# Stop/save preview
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <WAVE_IP> delete /preview

Shortcuts (All Devices)

# Start feeding mode
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ip> post /maintenance   # or /emergency

# End maintenance
python3 scripts/reefbeat.py <ip> delete /maintenance

Network Behaviour

• Auto-discovery (discover command) opens a UDP socket to 8.8.8.8 (no data sent — standard technique to detect the local network interface), then actively probes all hosts in the subnet via HTTP /device-info and /description.xml. This is local-only after the interface detection step.
• No cloud authentication or external API calls are made by this skill.
• All device control is purely local HTTP (port 80, no auth).

Notes

• G1 LEDs (RSLED50/90/160): white + blue channels (0–100%)
• G2 LEDs (RSLED60/115/170): kelvin (10000–20000) + intensity (0–100%)
• ReefDose config requests can take 7–9s — normal
• ReefWave local changes desync from app — expected
• ATO pump_timeout / malfunction → POST /resume to clear
• Always read /pump/settings before writing to preserve unchanged pump fields
