Everything's acting up

[jjdezek]

First off my skimmer went over board and was spitting water out the lid and got my dimming module wet. I unhooked and stuck in a cup of rice over night and it worked fine until the skimmer did it again. I didn't stick it in rice this time but I did unhook it for the next day. When I hooked it back up the lights keep flickering and they never turn off so I'm stuck unplugging them at night and plugging them back in in the morning. I ordered a new dimming module but there shut down until the 23rd so I'm stuck waiting. Now when I try to control my RA with the app it doesn't turn anything off or on. My ATO switch will kick in when water is low but doesn't turn off when the floats hit full and it will run until it times out. Would all that be happening because of the dimming module malfunctioning? Nothing else was close enough to the skimmer to get wet.

I doubt that would affect anything

[jjdezek]

What would cause the ATO to not shut off until it times out?

[cosmith71]

Bad float switch? Try testing it.

Let see your code

[jjdezek]

It doesn't do it all the time, it's like every few days it will do it. Also have noticed my return pump kick off then back on after about 30 sec or so.

here is the code i've been using since i got it set up.

Did you test the ATO port and the float switches?
Use the ControllerTester code in the Examples folder.

[jjdezek]

no i didnt know how to do it plus went out of town for the weekend. its not just the ato thats acting up though i cant control any of my ports with my phone when i was able to before and like i had mentioned my return pump shuts off randomly for a few seconds then kicks back on like theres a glitch in the controller.

[rimai]

That looks like water damage

[jjdezek]

I know my wifi connection port is really finicky and hard to get it just right. When I got it it took me several try's to get the upload cable connected to be able to upload my codes. I played with it last night and got it to work and can turn things off now. Also reloaded my code. See how it works now.
