Switch State overriding Feed mode

[mcallahan]

I'm having an issue with a switch state (from a waterbug sensor) overriding the Feed mode. When I switch on Feed A, the return pump doesn't kick off.

Here's the setup:
- waterbug in normally open configuration on switch #3 of BB
- Return pump with following outlet code:

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If Switch3 OPEN Then ON

It seems that since Switch3 is open it is overriding the Feed cycle. That won't work b/c the waterbug will always be open unless there is a flood.

put the 'if feed' statement last.

Better solution would be:

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Switch3 CLOSED Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Fallback ON so your pump will keep running in the event your base module loses communications
Set ON because that's what you want all the time
The two OFF statements for obvious reasons

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the tip.

BTW...love your user's guide!
