Apex Email Alarm

[pyton]

weird....

No matter what I have in the top line of my email alarm it triggers the email to be sent.

I had
Set OFF
If ORP > 450 Then ON
If pH < 6.20 Then ON
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON
If Temp > 06.80 Then ON
If pH < 06.00 Then ON
If Switch2 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then OFF

I kept getting emails about ORP over 450 so

Changed to:
Set OFF
If ORP > 480 Then ON
If pH < 6.20 Then ON
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON
If Temp > 06.80 Then ON
If pH < 06.00 Then ON
If Switch2 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then OFF

And then I would get emails my ORP was over 480

So I change to
Set OFF
If ORP > 500 Then ON
If pH < 6.20 Then ON
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON
If Temp > 06.80 Then ON
If pH < 06.00 Then ON
If Switch2 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then OFF

Once Again I was getting emails saying my ORP was over 500

So I changed to
Set OFF
If pH < 6.20 Then ON
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON
If Temp > 06.80 Then ON
If pH < 06.00 Then ON
If Switch2 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then OFF

Next I got emails saying my pH was blow 6.20

it will only go above the ORP setting for a second and then right back down.
Same with pH being too low, it will only last a second and right back up to where it should be.

Now I have

Set OFF
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON
If Temp > 06.80 Then ON
If pH < 06.00 Then ON
If Switch2 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then OFF

Sure enough the temp which is kept about 78 spiked for about a second to 80.1 triggering the alarm....

Any ideas?

I think it is the Defer OFF that is the issue. This prevents the outlet from turning OFF until that condition has been true for at least 1 minute. Change it to Defer ON.

I believe you also have an error at If Temp > 6.80, I assume that should be pH. There is a parsing bug in the previous release, not sure if it is fixed in the latest. Try entering lowercase 'ph'.

Thanks

That is another thing I keep setting it as pH and it reverts to Temp. I have the last update by NS so I guess it is not fixed.


Set OFF
If ORP > 450 Then ON
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If pH > 06.80 Then ON
If pH < 06.00 Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON
If Switch2 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

Since you have recent firmware, you can rename the pH probe from 'pH' to something like 'pH-Sump'. Then review *all* programming to make sure that all statements involving pH are updated and are correct. This workaround worked for me. Configuration->Probe setup in the web pages.

actually I saved the page twice when I set up the email alm and now it is sticking in there. If I see it again I will do as you suggest, thanks Russ
