I'm trying to setup the breakout box with a float switch and only way I can get it to change status with the apex is reversing the switch. I bought this switch:



There is also a major delay when switching from open>closed or closed>open.

Should I get another switch? Is it the breakout box?

Seems pretty straightforward but I guess I could be doing something wrong :confused:

Any advice?

If you are looking at Fusion, there will be a major delay. Because it does not update that frequently.

Actually use it to program something, and it’ll react within seconds. Try it with a simple light, or listen for the click of the outlet :)

Use the ip address of apex (old School) while setting up float switches ,its instant unlike fusion and you can tell if there open or closed just like @TheHarold
Thanks! Was up too late messing with it. Got it figured out now with the old dashboard. :cool:
