Can you try directly to the relay?
If you still get the same problem, does it happen the same if you remove the code for the pumps?
I'll try both tonight.
Im thinking it might be a hub issue.
Im getting some random power clicks on the Reef Angel .
I actually replaced this hub about 3 months ago, so its a stretch that its messed up.

The problem seems to go away when I plug up the dimming expansion directly to the relay.
This is really troubling because I just replaced the expansion hub a few months ago.

Do you have anything else connected to the hub?
Are you using the original USB cables?
Check for bad connection and try a different port in the hub.

They are the original, although I wouldn't be surprised if they were the problem.
I have a relay expansion, a lunar hub, the dimming expansion, water level expansion, and the WiFi attachment hooked up.
I do get random power flicks time and time again, and even when my lunar hub is on 0, I still get a very dim light.
Random ATO timeouts happen, for no reason, but the controller continues to keep the tank topped off.
I think that's pretty much all my problems. Even with different codes, all this happens.

I think there is one module that is misbehaving and causing a bus lock. That's what would cause the dimming flickers and the relay clicks.
I would start with only one module connected and watching. Then add one at a time to find out which one it is.

I left my relay expansion unplugged for a few hours today, and that seems to have fixed it. I plugged it back in and still no problems.
I think it's the culprit.
