    apex email alert configuration and help please

    so i am currently trying to get my email set up and working properly. i have already got passed the set up of the initial email part. i need help with the actual code and the alarm statement. is there a way to set up the email or text to let me know specificly ( alarm statement?) what is going on whether it be temp or one of my leak detection sensors. i am going to post my current code but still need the code for temp on each system so im guessing the code will include the name of each temp probe?

    If Tmpx4 > 81.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx4 < 75.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx12 > 81.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx12 < 75.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx6 > 81.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx6 < 75.0 Then ON
    If Swx9_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx8_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx10_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then ON

    Don't forget to Set OFF on the first line.

    Here is some code for the salt and ph. Of course yours will be different depending on your naming of the probes.

    If Salt > 36.0 Then ON
    If pH > 8.45 Then ON



    As for emails this is what an alert looks like so it does give you by default enough to work with

    The email process is not quick so if you are testing code it might be better off using the SNDALM to test everything. My emails can take mins to send depending on the traffic and networks. SNDALM is only seconds to activate

    This is where you set all that up. I have it sending it to both email and SMS as seen in screen capture below.

    1st this should be your code.

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Tmpx4 > 81.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx4 < 75.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx12 > 81.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx12 < 75.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx6 > 81.0 Then ON
    If Tmpx6 < 75.0 Then ON
    If Swx9_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx8_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx10_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then ON

    As for
    SndAlm_I6 This causes the Apex Controller to play and alert at the device level which activates quickly so you can test your code without it taking time to email you then move your code to your email switch.

    Apex has one heck of a service team to help you out. Not sure how you are trying to contact them

    FYI. You may want to add a delay as well to your code depending on where these switches are located.

    If Swx9_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx8_1 CLOSED Then ON
    If Swx10_1 CLOSED Then ON

    Mine are in an area that has some waves and cause the emails and SMS to go off all the time needlessly so adding a

    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    makes sure that the switch is always on and not bouncing on and off before it bothers you. Change the time to your liking.

    Not at all feel free to text me

    Programing for the most part is so much better in the fusion. The only time i use the old dashboard is to firmware update the modules and to custom name my devices.

    So I see this is an old thread but I have my email alarm on the dashboard set to Auto or On I keep getting the same text alerts on 2 different apex i have setup. It says

    Status: ON
    Statement: Set OFF

    I get this alert by email and text every hour its getting super annoying.
    What else can I do to fix this i have my alarms for temp set my the temp probe settings and the PH ones by the ph settings as well

    but i assume i can do that in the email settings if i do an advanced configuration ?

    So I have the same issue with my ATK so if i add in a defer time then it will only alert me if the upper eye has been covered for 5mins?

    I had a piece of algae cover it one day and my phone would not shut up luckily i have a camera on my tank and i could make sure it was not over flowing
