High ATO port

Can I use only the HighATO port to monitor the water level in my ATO reservoir? I was thinking in placing the sensor upside down at the bottom of the reservoir but how would I code this?
Thanks

What do you want to do when the float switch is triggered?

Yell to my wife "HEY IT"S TIME TO REFILL THE ATO RESERVOIR"
I would like to get some type of notification (email, text, or something on the phone app if possible) and turn off port4. I guess I can also buy the buzzer (where can it be connected?) so maybe it can "yell" that is time to refill the reservoir.

You can set the portal to send you an alert on ATOHIGH equals 1
You can set port4 off with a code like this:
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port4,ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive());
The buzzer can be connected to any dimming port (actinic or daylight) or you can also use a wall wart and use a relay port.

if you are using my android app and doing the auto update, you can set notifications based on the ato status as well. the portal updates will probably be faster because the controller updated it more frequently (roughly every 5 minutes)

is there something I need to put in the code to use the ato ports? I plug a sensor in the high ato port and it's not turning on. I am using the low ato port to control a DC pump, don't know if that makes a different.

Which libraries are you using? HighATO port isn't in the default libraries yet for DCPump. Also, can you post your current code. In the dev branch you'll just need to do
ReefAngel.DCPump.HighATOChannel=Sync; // or AntiSync...
That should get it to follow the DCPump settings.

What kind of sensor. The ATO ports dont act like that as far as i know. You can use them to detect a switch port or as an output pwm port
