Normally, my skimmer only uses 12 W but for some reason it jumps up to 24W off and on for a while. Then I get notifications for it because somehow it is set to notify me if the watt usage goes above 20. It never goes above 24W so it really does not concern me. I am curious as to way this is happening. But mostly I want to know how to turn this alarm off. I went through the article on here dealing with alarms and still can't figure it out. Seriously, it is super annoying when I get a notification every minute for an hour straight.

Go to Inputs, Advanced, and reset the upper end of the Watts.

In fusion.

Click the cog to expand the menu. Select the little thermometer icon (inputs), scroll down to your skimmer watts. May be labeled SkimmerW, click that. Click advanced in the little window on right of the screen, set wattage above 24. You may also have to click "Use recommended values" on the basic tab.
