Floating switches as indicators and hood temperature

[OceanWolf]

I want to do two things

First I want to control my fans in the hood by the T1 probe. I placed the probe close to the heat sink. I am using ReefAngel.Standartfan ( Port8, 850, 770) to turn on and off the fans. Fan control works fine, my problem is it also turns off my heater. How can I use the T2 probe for Heater control?

Second question, i don't have an ATO pump yet, I would like to use my switches as an indicator of the water level. I set one of clips to the bottom and the other to the second setting. How can I see the water level on the portal. I would like to see green when both are all the way to the top and when the water level goes down, the first one will turn red and later if I don't add water the second goes red?

You will need a custom function to do it. I think examples have been posted for it.

As far as ATO, the standard function doesnt work as you described. The float switches represent power to the ATO pump, meaning normally both are OFF (red). When the "low" switch turns green the pump turns on until the "high" switch turns green. Thats when the pump turns off.

If you really want the switches to behave as you want you will need a custom function written.

The ATO status on the Portal will show the opposite. They are green when not floating and red when floating.
So, what you will see is the opposite of what you want.
You can revert the float switch function by removing the clip and flipping the float up side down and putting the clip back in.
That should give you greens when floating and red when not floating.
