    You can use the format

    If FlowSensorName < X Then ON

    Where X is your desired flowrate for alarms, turning outlets ON/OFF etc.

    Thanks for the reply....will the “then on” kick in the email alerts I get for other things like ph, temp, etc?

    Sorry I think before I program it, how do I get it to show up to be programmed to begin with? I see the graph in my dashboard showing it is working but I don’t see an outlet I can program

    It doesn't create an outlet. Just a display like pH. If you followed the setup video correctly, you should have the sensor in your inputs tab and a display tile on the dashboard.

    The programming is done in other outlets. For example your skimmer could have something like this, which would shut it down if the flow got too low.

    Skimmer
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Flow < 200 Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    For an alert, you could just add the form I showed before into the email outlet. For an even better alert you can use a virtual outlet so you don't get alerts when you intentionally turn your return off.

    LowFlow
    Set OFF
    If Flow < X Then ON
    If Output Return = OFF Then OFF
    Defer 000:30 Then ON

    Email
    (Existing code)
    If Output LowFlow = ON Then ON
