Yes. If your ato was stand alone you could plug it into an apex outlet. The outlet program would be something like this:
Fallback on - keeps on if loses connection
Set on - turns it on normally
If high_water = closed then off - high_water being your normally open float or optical sensor. You would need a break out box or flow monitoring module to hook the level sensor to.
The optical sensors use a 4 wire plug. I'm pretty sure it uses 2 wires for an infrared emitter diode and 2 wires for the sensor. It might be possible to wire a float switch in place of the sensor diode, but it seems like a waste. You can buy a breakout box for $40, or make one for even less than that. Why would you waste a port on a $100 FMM for a simple float switch?The breakout box takes simple floats. The fmm takes optical sensors. Have not figured out how to hook a float to the fmm yet. You can't hook an optical sensor to the bob without serious electronic knowhow as its a powered device somehow.
I've also been using the Kindle for a display. Are you able to get fusion to go full screen on any browser?-Added the Amazon Fire pad when I first got it but had TONS of problems with the dolphin browser losing connectivity. Silk had a recent update so switched to the Silk browser and have had ZERO problems! It stays connected for several weeks before I need to refresh. $50 for a display is WORTH IT!
-SB Reef lights are ramped up by the apex after some custom wiring.
-Added the Lunar module and have them turn off when white lights come on. It is pretty cool having my tank in sync with the lunar phases.
-Recently recalibrated my salinity probe and now it is correct. I guess it just needed to soak in the tank a couple months before you get accurate readings.
