DDR optical sensor programming

[lubeck]

How do you program it to alert me when running low? I thought this would happen automatically but it doesn’t. Did a quick search and didn’t see anything. Thanks for the help.

In your alarm outlet type:

If (the name of the sensor) open then on

Im sorry... If you want it to alert as its getting low you will need to add the new level sensor. The sensors on the DDR are open and close only... no "almost empty" setting.

Yes. Those are only open or closed. Won't alert you if it's getting empty. I replied the code you need to enter in your alert outlet. Now you might be asking for the display of the contents in the DDR. Once you connect the DDR it should appear as a new tile on top. Drag it to your dashboard. Then click on the gear and you can enter the amount which is 2ml. Name the left and right DDR.

You should have 2 new ones pop up on top. The will start with sw___ or something like that.

Just a head's up, my DDR optical sensors almost never get triggered - even when the DDR runs out.

That’s what happened to me over the weekend. However I don’t have an alert but thought it would have just happened.
