Float swich to shut off skimmer if full

[lh2o]

Hi

using the RA wizard I was trying to use one of my float swich to shut off my skimmer incase the waste bin is full...so basicly having the port always on and then off when trigerd by the flot swich.

it works but the timer feature is preventing me to run this all the time any idea on how to get around this ?

Thanks for helping me with this

I tried but with no success...

here is what my code looks like

void loop()
{
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5,17,0,9,0 );
ReefAngel.SingleATO( false,Port6,30,0 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Box1_Port1,7,0,19,0 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Box1_Port2,8,0,18,0 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Box1_Port3,10,30,15,30 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Box1_Port4,10,30,15,30 );
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Box1_Port5,775,786 );
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Box1_Port6,775,786 );
////// Place your custom code below here
if(ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive())
{
ReefAngel.Relay.Override(Port6,0);
}

////// Place your custom code above here


I am new to coding so not sure how to make sense of this

What port is your skimmer on and I don't see code that turns the skimmer on. Is that your full code?

the Skimmer is on port 6 of my main relay box

You need to add the skimmer. You have nothing turning it on. Put ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn(Port6); before your custom code

[lh2o]

thanks a million for your help, this was the first time I looked at codding and your help and prompt replies made it a great experience

I did get it to work by doing by using ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port6 ); in red below

I tried the ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn(Port6); but it did not work

let m e know if makes sense or If I could have done it better differently:

Now the skimmer is always on, the float switch rising causes it to go off (so if my waste bucked gets full) I can reset it to on using the App and punting it back at ON i m my app the skimmer is not in Auto Mode anymore but in on or off

DelayedOn means after the controller reboots or during feed modes/warer change mode there will be a delay before it turns on...did you wait long enough? Don't put it in ON mode to clear the override, you need to put it back to auto. However there's no consequence to putting it in On mode. The switch should put it back to Off mode regardless

[lh2o]

I think your right, I might not have waited long enough with the delay

if I put it in Auto the skimmer shuts off... also the clear ATO alarm is always on on my controller perhaps something can still be done to optimize this, let me know what you think
