Ato

[snoopie702]

Okay, I have searched countless hours and have not gone good.

I am not new but certainly not an expert to programming. I have programmed my LED's, Pump all custom setups.

I just got a breakout box with 2 float switches and cannot see to comprehend the programming for the switches.

So what I want these programming to do is. Switch 1 will be low to turn on the ATO pump, Switch 2 will be set higher acted as an emergency shut off for the ATO pump, and send an alert.

SOOO...

If switch1 off then ATO on
min time 60:00
If switch1 on the ATO off
If switch2 off then switch1
If switch2 on then ATO off
If switch2 on then Alarm_Email


Alarm_Email
Set OFF
If Temp > 82.0 Then ON
If Temp < 76.0 Then ON
If Switch2= ON Then ON
If Power Apex Off 000 Then ON
Defer 000:30 Then ON

Outlet
Switch1_outlet
Control type: Advanced
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Switch1 = ON Then ON




I am totally lost does this make any sense?

As well how could I a set up a Dummy outlet for these to identify which alarm is being sent.

OK the switch lines use "open,closed" not on/off.
Its just a simple program.
Whatever outlet your pump is plugged into is where your prigram will be.
Oulet...ATO
Fallback off
Set off
If switch1 closed then on
If switch2 open then off
Defer 002:00 then on
Min time 010:00 then off

The defer line keeps pump from cycling on and off if the water is moving. The min time only allows the ago to turn on once every 10 min.
As far as knowing which alarm is being sent the email will tell you what tripped the alarm.

So after that can I put

If switch2 closed then ALARM_EMAIL

So after that can I put

If switch2 closed then ALARM_EMAIL

Alarm_Email
Set OFF
If Temp > 82.0 Then ON
If Temp < 76.0 Then ON
If Switch2 = CLOSED Then ON
If Power Apex Off 000 Then ON
Defer 000:30 Then ON

There is a syntax and programming reference here:

Ok my new problem is my apex is not reconize the switch comman. It says there is not such switch. I look at my does board and the switches say

Sw1, Sw2 ect

Will this work? I am testing with Sw1 but the outlet still will not turn on.

Your programming needs to match what ever the switch name is. Whether that is Sw1, Sw2 or Switch_1, Switch_2 etc. It needs to match the switch name exactly. So yes, if they are name Sw1 then your programming should be:

If Sw1 = Open Then ON

or

If Sw1 = Closed Then ON

Having said that, you should rename your switches so you know what's going on if you get an alarm, email or text. I use "SumpTooHigh", SumpTooLow" for my alarm related float switches. I use "AddWater" for my ATO float switches.

If I get a sump related email alert, the message has "SumpTooLow = ON" or "SumpTooHigh=ON" within it. This is helpful in knowing exactly what is going on.

Ok I understand that, I have been looking to change the name of my switch can't find that option to rename them.

Ok I understand that, I have been looking to change the name of my switch can't find that option to rename them.

In the Native Apex web interface (not Fusion), click the configuration tab and select "Probe/Input Setup". From the drop down, you can select each switch and rename them.
