    Sump Light Under Cabinet

    I have a light strip installed inside my cabinet where the sump is located. Light is used for utility purposes to provide light when I'm working on the sump or water changes.

    I have installed a float switch in the filter floss & felt chamber in the sump. in about 4 days, the 100 micron pad will be clogged of stuff and slows the water flow down to a trickle. I'll know I have to change it when I hear the water dripping as it over flows the chamber.

    I'd like to use the float switch to detect when the water in chamber has been slowed down to a trickle - float switch goes from CLOSED to OPEN. When this happens I would like to cause the under cabinet light to flash off and on until the condition has be resolved.

    I have FEEDC setup to turn on the undercab light for water changes. Here is to code.

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If FeedC 000 Then ON

    Any ideas what the code would look like to cause my light to flash?

    Fallback OFF
    OSC 0/0:03/0:03 Then ON
    If Switch CLOSED Then OFF
    If FeedC 000 Then ON

    The OSC line will make the light cycle on and off every three seconds.

    Change my If Switch line above to use the actual name of the float switch’s input. That line is used to prevent the OSC from making the light cycle on and OFF when things are normal (switch is CLOSED).

    RussM,

    Happy Thanksgiving and THANK YOU!

    It works great.

    I am planning on using a lamp of some sort as a warning light as a visual indicator of a problem.
