Sump High Email

[j3piloterau]

I have two switches on my ATO one low that is the normal in use one, and a second higher one as a back up. I have the apex set to email me when the high switch is triggered. Is there a way to set it so that if FeedA is selected (pump shuts off and sump fills) so that it will not email me in that situation?

The following should work when added to the last line of your email outlet code:

IF FeedA Then OFF

But you might give it a bit of time for the water level to return to normal after the Feed is canceled as:

If FeedA 005 Then OFF

Alternatively, without any reference to the Feed you could use this in the email outlet code:

Defer 10:00 Then ON

Use whatever duration the FeedA period is, plus a bit to allow the water to normalize. This would delay ANY email alarm.

Another option, if you are using a virtual outlet for SumpHigh, is to add the Feed command to it. That way it will only override the high sump condition and not any other conditions that would trigger the email alert.

Thanks for the help I wil experiment with both. When I set the pump outlet for feedA feedB and feedc it turned them all into feedA. What did I do wrong? The apex did that with all other outlet programs that I tried to set with more than one feed cycle

What did I do wrong?

Post your actual outlet programs. It will eliminate guessing.

For my pump:

Fallback On
Set On
If FeedC 000 Then Off
If FeedA 000 then Off

As soon as I update the outlet it turns to this:

Fallback On
Set On
If FeedA 000 Then Off
If FeedA 000 then Off

The same thing happens on every outlet I try to program more than one feed profile.

Do you have a feed interval set for FeedC? You would do this via the display module Setup - Outlet Setup - Feed Interval.

Interesting... I don't recall seeing any mention of a parsing problem with If Feedx statements in the past.

I just tried multiple compilations of If Feed..., and every one was accepted and "stuck". Including the exact code you posted.

What version of firmware? I am running 4.04-2B11.

 

[j3piloterau]

I currently have FeedC set for 90 min. My firmware is 4.03-6A10.

I don't know what the allowed range is for the Feed Interval settings, but 90 minutes seems long. Drop that FeedC interval value to 10 minutes, and see what happens. If that solves the problem, you can adjust the If FeedC xxx Then Off accordingly:

If FeedC 080 Then Off

will give the same result... 90 minutes total "off" time

I tried it at 90 and 150 and it worked both times. I thought perhaps if you have a 0 interval declared, then it won't let you use that feed cycle.

I tried it at 90 and 150 and it worked both times.

Thanks, Al. I'd have tested that myself, but I'd need a USB cable 2600 miles long ... with no repeaters, of course.
