Hey everyone.
Just recently got my breakout box setup for my ato using outlet #4 on the eb8 and the float/breakout box to trigger the on/off
I've been contemplating setting up an auto wc system using the same method. Using a low water level switch to trigger off the auto wc and a high float to trigger off the fill of the auto wc.
My question is it possible to use the same high water level float for both my ato and my wc system?
Similar to this program for the ato (if say I do the wc between 3pm-330pm)
Fallback off
Set OFF
If sx6 open then on
(This is the part I'm confused about. Will this program work)
If 15:00 then off
If 15:30 then on
(Will that last two lines of code shut the outlet off between 3pm-330pm? And will the outlet return back to normal operation at 330pm or will it stick on because of the last line of code?)
I'd be using similar code for the auto wc pumps. Basically have them off until 3pm then all off by 330pm.
This is what I am thinking for the auto wc program
"Drain"
Fallback off
Set OFF
If 15:00 then on
If sw6 closed then on
If sw5 open then off
If 15:15 then off
"Fill"
Fallback off
Set OFF
If 15:16 then on
If sw5 open then on
If sw6 closed then off
If 15:30 then off
Am I on crack? Or will this work?
Or should I program the auto wc to happen when I press a feed button? Would that be easier and safer?
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks
