I have one running on my old fish tank controller. Occasionally the lights go off, the watchdog triggers, restarts the system and the lights fade up again. I've been unable to trace the cause of the problem though.. That is worrying !! I am not sure how big the risk is for the fish but try to run without watchdog. I think you have published an earlier version of your fish tank program. I could look at it. Is there any reason why this could happen ? Does it also happen without watchdog ? Or is the watchdog causing more problems then relief. The only experiency I have with long running programs is with the "wet sock" humidity detector (ran 2 months), and the mains voltage analyzer (half a year). These have run (without watchdog, but also without USB) without problems. Regards, Volhout P.S. When Mick experiences it in 5.07.04 and Grogster in 5.09.00b6 it may still not be brought to Peters attention. IF it is the same. Edited 2025-10-06 18:15 by Volhout
