ATO Adjustment

[AnthonyK]

I've been trying myself to code this but just not having any luck with it.

I have a Standard ATO and need to set a code so that the pump isn't recycling on and off repeatedly when the water splashes in the sump.

How do I code the ATO pump to turn on only when the LowATO is active for at least 5 seconds? Appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

The code Roberto gave you in this thread is not working?

Also... If you are using StandardATO then it should be using two float switches...spread them out a bit more because the standard ato function fills until the high switch is up and does not turn back on until low is back down...

[AnthonyK]

No, I couldn't get that code to work.

[lnevo]

Did it not compile? Or did it not do what you needed?

[AnthonyK]

It was only doing the part that said turn on for xx minutes every yy minutes. It ignored the low ato isactive part.

[lnevo]

Impossible... unless you're code was in wrong, or the code needing that needed to be reversed depending on your switch status... can you post the code you used (full INO)

It may be working now, I have to wait and see but looks it's been set this way for the afternoon and not gone above the low ato switch yet.

I added the {}brackets to the if and else code...could that have made a difference?
