Urgent Help with code for automating an aquaponics garden using Time/TimeAlarms

Hello. I am a student in high school and as a part of our senior engineering project, we have chosen to automate a garden using an arduino uno and various relays and sensors. Our goal was to control the lights and pump for a system on a timed loop using the Arduino while monitoring if these things were actually working. i have no real prior experience with any Arduino programming and nor do my 2 teammates.

/*
CODE FOR AUTOMATED AQUAPONICS SYSTEM
goals:  
  -control a pump for the tank that will be a timed loop (proposed fail-safe to prevent overflow) NOT CLOSED
  -monitor growbed water levels to ensure water is flowing through system(encorporated in proposed fail safe)
    +use filament strip water level sensor (fswls) to ensure that water is indeed in the growbed
    POSSIBLE:+relay information from the (fswls) in conjuction with the pump control code to act as fail-safe against overflow
  -control lights for plants on a closed loop system
    +check whether on or off with a photo sensor
  -display serial information on LCD

possible additions:
  -measure water quality/pH to ensure stable environment for fish
  -add resevoir of water that refills resevior tank
  -flow rate
  -temperture monitoring
  -controls for fish feeding

void LightAlarm(){
  digitalWrite(lightsRelay, LOW); //turn lights on
  Alarm.delay(36000000);
  Serial.println("Lights are on.");
  lcd.print("LIGHTS ACTIVE");
    
}

after compiling, I ran into the error

/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/TimeAlarms/TimeAlarms.cpp: In member function 'void TimeAlarmsClass::delay(long unsigned int)':
/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/TimeAlarms/TimeAlarms.cpp:256: error: 'millis' was not declared in this scope

I have no idea what the issue was. I attempted to solve it by changing all of the delay() to Alarm.delay() to no avail. If anyone has any help that would be greatly appreciated. The deadline for this project is Dec. 17th

Hello and welcome :slight_smile:

Read this topic, you are using an old library that wasn't updated for the new Arduino IDE

Good luck

that was the solution. I can test it now. Thank you so very much
