Hi,
I have this for my email heater alarm:
Set OFF
If Tmp > 78.8 Then ON
If Tmp < 77.0 Then ON
But how do I add for in case the outlet is off? What is the code?- thanks, Tim

Your code is stating that if temp is greater than 87.8 heater on, and if temp is less tan 77 then on, the only time the heater will be off is in between those 2 temps
If you're wanting your tank to be in between those 2 temps your code should read:
Set OFF
If Temp < 77.0 Then ON
If Temp > 78.8 Then OFF
I'm talking about the email alarm for the heater. Not the heater range itself.
We need clarification about what exactly you want to check for "if the outlet is off". Are you trying to detect when the internal thermostat on the heater shuts it off? Is the heater primary control with the apex as a backup and you want an email when the apex shuts it off? Please post your heater code as well.

I'd just like to know if for some reason the outlet stops working
Heat code is just on @ 77.5 and off @ 78.6..It's plugged into the Apex jr. So if that particular outlet failed, and the heater had no power, I'd like to know.
Nope, this is not correct programming. A Set statement should not be used. This sticky post explains why: https://forum.neptunesystems.com/sho...l=1#post114462
Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
There is no way to check that directly on a Jr since it does not have amps/watts probes. If the outlet were to fail and the heater stopped receiving power, the temp would drop until your low alarm value and then you would be notified based on temp.
If the value reads really low (in the 20s) it means the probe is disconnected or open circuited.
If it reads in the low 70s, that means the probe fell out of the tank.
If it reads below but near 77, it means either the heater internal thermostat or outlet is stuck OFF
If it reads above 99.9, that means the probe shorted
If it reads just above 78.8, then the outlet might be stuck in the ON position.
