ATO code for text message/notification

[kevin_e]

How can I set up a notification/text for when the ATO pump has been on for a certain period of time?

i.e. When On > 000:30 Then "NOTIFY"

What would replace "NOTIFY"?

Thanks!

So I guess it would actually be under the Alarm oulet, not the ATO.

If ATO On > 000:30 Then ON

doesn't seem to work

If Swx4_1 OPEN > 000:29 Then ON

I tried this and it uploaded. But when I hit refresh it defaults to this:

If Swx4_1 OPEN Then OFF

You can use a virtual output as a timer, then check the status of that virtual output in the EmailAlm program:

[Alarm_ATO] — virtual output
Set OFF
If Output ATO = ON Then ON
Defer 000:30 Then ON

[EmailAlm]
Set OFF
If Output Alarm_ATO = ON Then ON

Just substitute the actual name of your ATO pump output, and adjust the Defer time to the value you choose.

Thank you. For the virtual output, would I want the "

If Output ATO = ON Then ON" to be

"If Output ATO = ON Then OFF"? I don't want the alarm unless ATO is on for 30 seconds.​

Code it exactly like I showed in my post above. The way it works is that the virtual output will try to turn On when the ATO is On. But the Defer delays the virtual output for 30 seconds, so once that clock counts down to zero, if the ATO is still On, the virtual output will finally turn On and that will trigger the alarm. If the ATO does not remain On for the full 30 seconds, the timer is cancelled and the virtual output does not turn On.
