I've had my 2016 Apex running for a few weeks now and every time I get a text alarm from fusion shortly after I get another text saying this. Not really sure what it means. I never got anything like this with my apex classic.

It looks like it is emailing your phone number as well as sending you a text. Check your account settings under your username in the upper right corner of Fusion, choose settings from the drop down, then select Notifications to see if the email and phone alerts are using the same number.

Your apex is sending you a second message to tell you when the status of your alarm is off. For example, sometimes when my ato adds Kalk topoff water to the sump my ph probe registers a high ph and my apex sends me an alert or alarm. Shortly after once the water cycles through the sump the ph probes registers the actual ph level and my apex sends an alert/alarm stating the status of the alert/alarm is off. Hope this helps.

I have this issue also. Like the OP this never happened with my Apex Classic but does with the 2016 version. I get the 'OFF' alerts and emails multiple times after the alarm turns off. It's very annoying.

Can you post your code for the Alarms you get this for?

Here it is:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output ATOLow = ON Then ON
If Output BreakoutBox = OFF Then ON
If Output DavyJones = OFF Then ON
If Output FRSumpLeak = ON Then ON
If Output Return = OFF Then ON
If Output Skimmer = OFF Then ON
If Output WaterIn = ON Then OFF
If Output WaterOut = ON Then OFF

And here is my alarm log from a few minutes ago:

Item Date Status Statement
1 2017-07-15 14:30:08 -0400 OFF Set OFF
2 2017-07-15 14:30:25 -0400 ON If Output ATOLow = ON Then ON

Looks to me like the alarm contact is chattering. This happens to me sometimes when a level sensor is right on the edge (or if one is failing. If you add the defer command as your last line, that should stop it.

Something like :
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output ATOLow = ON Then ON
If Output BreakoutBox = OFF Then ON
If Output DavyJones = OFF Then ON
If Output FRSumpLeak = ON Then ON
If Output Return = OFF Then ON
If Output Skimmer = OFF Then ON
If Output WaterIn = ON Then OFF
If Output WaterOut = ON Then OFF
Delay 00:10 Then On

This would delay the alarm for 10 seconds, which will squelch out chattering. If the alarm holds in for 10 seconds then you will get the alarm notification sent to you.

So last week I added the Defer statement and it seems to have fixed my problem! Thanks tdunmore2!
