    But that's my point, switch one didn't close.

    You may not see it close on the dashboard but if the outlet turned off. It closed.

    If you want to see when it closed, use a virtual outlet.

    Set off
    If switch name closed then on.


    Turn logging on for it then check the output logs.


    Simple visual test. If the water level always below the bottom sensor but doesn’t keep dropping in levels? The logically water is going into the system.

    To add, yesterday was the first fill, and the water did add until switch 2 was closed. Arg..

    I guess from my visual so far, yesterday, water covered switch 2, then stopped for the night. Today, water dropped below switch 1, by a good inch, then the solenoid opened and closed repeatedly until switch 1 was partially covered again. That's right now, I'll watch to see what the next few hours does

    Using this code, why is that happening? I guess the defer statement, but that isn't what I expect from that statement, although I'm not clear on what the sequence should be with this code

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Swx3_1 OPEN Then ON
    If Swx3_2 CLOSED Then OFF
    When On > 030:00 Then OFF
    Defer 000:10 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF
    Min Time 045:00 Then OFF


    I expect that when switch 1 opens, defer 10 seconds, then open solenoid for 30 minutes. I also expect I'm probably wrong!


    edit: add log

    Item Date Output State
    1 2019-02-03 08:46:52 -0800 Solenoid_3_1 ON
    2 2019-02-03 08:47:02 -0800 Solenoid_3_1 OFF
    3 2019-02-03 09:32:03 -0800 Solenoid_3_1 ON
    4 2019-02-03 09:32:49 -0800 Solenoid_3_1 OFF

    so 45:01 later, turns on again for 46 seconds. Confused.
    This is what the sequence is.

    1. Checks to see if it has been at least 45 minutes until the last fill. If it has continue to 3.

    2. Wait until the switch has been open continuously for 10 seconds in a row or 10 seconds after 2 became true.

    3. Fill until either switch has been closed for 4 seconds continuously.

    3a. If during 4 the solenoid turned on for more than 30 minutes, shut the outlet to manual OFF

    4. Repeat.

    Zombie, thanks, that's now my understanding, which was clouded previously, but that's not what I observed this morning. Items 1 & 2 in the log above happened well before water got near the switch 1, which in itself seems like an issue, the water should not have dropped as low as it did. I'll watch it now with a clearer vision of what it's supposed to do. As I said re: last night water went slightly above the second switch, which sounds like an issue as well.
