APEX DOS programming help

[Ian Baxter]

I have been searching the internet for programming guides for Apex DOS and I'm having trouble finding what I need. I have multiple eb832s and one is in the garage for my mixing station. I have all of the equipment, and I am looking to do the following:

1) Water storage pump on (run for 5 minutes to mix salt water);
2) Water storage pump off;
3) ATO off;
4) Skimmer Off; (Do I need this??)
5) DOS - begins to pump from the sump into the drain (when the low level sensor is reached, it stops); will be about 1g per day.
6) DOS - begins to pump from the water storage bins into the sump (when the high water level sensor is reached, it stops);
7) ATO on.

I also want to add a sensor that will alert me when my new saltwater revisor is getting low.
If you have any other suggestions on how to do this better or more efficient, please let me know.

Yes. Do you know how I would set it up the other ones?

Once you know what you want to do, ChatGPT is great at writing Apex code. I'd recommend trying that out.

It does an "ok" job as it references Neptunes comprehensive reference manual which is a nice start. I would highly encourage anyone using AI to test before implementation. One should do this anyway but having AI do so would be wise.

A member above gave a tutorial by a member on both forums, suncrestreef. The auto top off is a gem. In fact he has several others that may be worth your time to reed as it will cover the rest. The auto top off will do the heavy lifting. The rest will be up to you making some decisions on if you want something on or off while the automation is happening.

Genius! I didn't think of that!

Thank you! I did read some of their stuff, but I couldn't find programming for everything.
