Apex code for ATO - not floatswitches

[zchauvin]

I am just learning how to code the apex I bought, I do not know how to enter but would like to have a code that reads

If Condx4 35.0 then On
If Condx4 34.8 then Off

Does this seem right? I don't think it could be that simple. Fallback would be off.

I have to be missing something because it fails to send

Do you need > or < in there?

BTW, I would not trust the Condx probe for running your ATO - I suspect this would lead to some disasters. My Condx values are all over the board even though my sg readings from my refractometer are solid.

I am not sure on that but will try to put that as well, I am confident in the ATO as if it runs for more than 3 times the length of usual ( about ten seconds for my tank) then it will automatically shut off. This would simply be a redundancy for extra safety. I would trust this ATO alone before one with floats.



Edit: Added the < & > and it sent code but does nothing on the ATO side, will not turn on unless water drops below the laser. This is a Smart ATO micro.

Oh, yeah well basically all the apex does is turn on and off the outlet, so if your ato works by a laser sensor and not by whether the outlet is on or off, then this will not work.

Ok thank you
