I recently migrated from a classic to an EL and carried forward my overall installation/configuration from the classic to the EL (replaced one of my EB8 with the EB832, left everything plugged into the same outlets, etc.)
The only change in connections was that I connected my breakout box to the I/O port on the PM2 instead of on the controller base unit.
I use the breakout box for a float switch in my skimmer collection cup.
What I ran into with the EL is that it read the empty cup as closed, where the classic read the empty cup as open.
The cable I use from the break out box to the float has a male/female connector (to remove for cleaning). When this is disconnected, the EL reads this as open, the classic read this as closed.
Obviously, I can update my programming - but I was wondering if anyone else ran into this when moving to the 2016 or EL from the classic.
