    Programming alert via time

    I just put some magnetic switches on the cabinet doors. I'm using them to shut off the ATO when I am working on the tank so it doesn't try to top off when I am doing a water change. The program for that is fine.

    I want to make a program that will alert me if one of the switches goes bad or maybe the door doesn't close all the way. Basically, if SWX2_1 is open for 180 minutes, send an email alert. How can I write this in the emailalm section?

    If you are current with your firmware, you can use the WHEN command.

    If I type in When, it doesn't open a drop down box that includes any switches.

    I put the When in the program for the ATO outlet, but will that send an email alert?

    No. You also need a If Error statement in the email output program. See the sticky linked above.

    Switch names are not used in a When statement.
