Hey yall. After 2 over fills by my redsea ato decided to fix it (hopefully) by ordering a new sensor and putting in a optic sensor as an additional redundancy. Got it to shut off properly when overfilling (which happened again already), but then it keeps turning on and off the outlet rapidly. Wanted to add a delay, so I was wondering it this looks right for programming:

a bit off topic, but I found optic sensors to be quite ineffective for applications such as this. (I used mine to improve a filter roller)

float switch is the best as it is 100% mechanical

Will have to get one. I had the optic on hand so thats why I went that route. Programming look right?
