New use for RA!

[cosmith71]

I put a lever switch on my unused ATO port and attached it to the door frame of my stand. Now, when I open the door, my in-stand light comes on.

I'm a genius.

Are you using a single ATO float switch and a door lever on the same RA+ board , OR were you not using the ATO slots at all on the RA+ board and used a separate system for your ATO? If so how are you coding the 2nd ATO port to go to operate another relay? This is above the Wizards head

I use two float switches wired in series to the ATO Low port. The door switch is wired to the ATO Hi port and I use the following code:

Code: Select all

// Turn on sump light if Hi ATO is open
    if (!ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.On(SumpLight);
    else ReefAngel.Relay.Off(SumpLight);

Where SumpLight is the relay the light is plugged into.

Just to clarify, the ato high is closest to pH port corect
