    Question alarm & programming?

    Hi All,
    so, what I would like to do is set up an alarm for my ATO barrel. I'm thinking hopefully having a light flash. I can't find out how to do so. Here is the set-up:

    FMM is labeled as FMM_4...

    On FMM_4_1: FLx4_1 (flow sensor)

    On FMM_4_2: the optical sensor that is at the bottom of barrel. to let me know when water is low and needs filling.

    On FMM_4_3: the optical sensor that is at the top of barrel. to let me know when barrel is full.

    The outlet I would like to use is labeled as EB832_3_7 (seventh outlet on second 832).

    Thank you

    To automate the fill, you would use this form. Replace the time in the when statement with about 25-50% longer than it takes to fill it.

    Fallback OFF
    If LowSensor OPEN Then ON
    If HighSensor CLOSED Then OFF
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF
    When On > XXX:XX Then OFF

    You can get an alert when it runs too long by adding this to your email outlet

    If Error OutletName Then ON

    What are the two defer lines for?
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF

    They are so the apex is "sure" that the sensors actually changed state and not a noise spike.
