NEW 210 build!!

It would be easier to state the programming something like to where:

if DOW M-W-Th-Sa

type statement. Then flip it for the other heater. This will let heaterA work on odd days and heaterB work on even days. This gives them equal amount of wear and usage.

To do it by DOW (day of week) is easier and less typing than making it every other hour.

That works, I just would like to rotate the heaters somehow to ensure they are both working. In the case you posted can you show me how you would program that in Apex?

Sorry Apex programming newbie!
 
Each [brackeitem] is one of the outlets/plugs in the apex. (Basically find which one it is plugged into and rename the outlet first then copy the programming below the [bracket item]

[Thermo1]
Fallback OFF
If Temp < 79.5 Then ON
If Temp > 80.1 Then OFF
If Temp < 60.0 Then OFF
If DoW -M-W-F- Then OFF

[Thermo2]
Fallback OFF
If Temp < 79.5 Then ON
If Temp > 80.1 Then OFF
If Temp < 60.0 Then OFF
If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF




Since the Apex follows the programming from top to bottom it will check the temp first then see that the DoW is, which turns it off. If it is that particular DoW then it would not meet the question and leave it in the ON position.
 
Are both set to Auto?

Did you change the plug name?

Case does MaTTeR when naming the outlets and making programming changes as they have to match.

Copy and paste the programming into here. (Screen capture would be good to, to see the name of the port.)
 
I have both set to auto and didn't change any plug names.

What is your temp guage/sensor set to as a name?

is it Temp as I have it?

Good point, mine is actually "Tmpx5" -- believe that is because it is plugged into the PM2 unit.

My "Temp" is now hidden, since it isn't reading anything.

When I first hooked up my APEX I was getting a ton of warning text messages because I had the text alert looking at "Temp" and not "Tmpx5".
 
Exactly.

All of thsoe you can reset/rename as long as they do not have spaces and a few other characters.

I have one called "Temp" one called "QTTemp"

When I am using my QT I put it in there and can see it and adjust the thermostat as needed there too. Otherwise it sits in the Sump.
 
Don't know why it mattered but I deleted both programs and re-entered them and updated Apex and it is working now.
 
Very nice.... Wait... Both working? Or only one? Flip flopping right? Might have to wait until after midnight though.
 
Well both as in one was off and the other was on.

Now that it is after midnight they flip flopped, so working as intended.
 
Very glad to hear that. So that will at least allow equal wear on them.

What temperature is it running in the tank?
 
Very glad to hear that. So that will at least allow equal wear on them.

Thanks for the help Worm with the heaters it was invaluable. I am most likely not done with you though on Apex programming. I have float switches, dosers, ATO, AWC, feeder, ect coming in the near future :crazy1:

How is that DC weather treating you? We moved from Moorefield, WV about 6 months ago which was about an hour and half away from there.
 
I love the weather here. Always have since 1973 when I moved here from NC. We have 4 distinct seasons. From 100 degree summer to 2 degree winter (but not everytime each year.)

Ask away on the apex programming. Others can see and learn too, plus kick in their ideas. It keeps it with your build thread too.

On the weather... We had a storn start last night after midnight... We got about 3 inches. We were to get from 3-5... So that was on mark.

I am off work today because of the snow. So I get to do some tank/fish work at home.

How is WI working out? I went to Clintonville, WI 3 years ago to final inspect two fire trucks. Is that far? About 1.5 hours maybe?
 
Clintonville is almost exactly 1.5 hours from me. WI is working out for us we both were born and raised here and all our family is here. The weather on the other hand not so much, we miss your hot summers and very mild winters.

We got 10 inches of snow last week and schools were not even delayed. My GF works for IBM out of DC/Cumberland MD though from home and has an easy day due to the weather there.

Thanks again for the program knowledge it is helping my build and I learn as well something I can pass onto others in these forums in the future!
 
Next time the both of you come to town, hit me up and I'll drive up and maybe we can do dinner or something.

OK.. So what is next? ATO?
