I want to use a float switch to show an alarm when my ato container is low. The way the float switch is mounted it shows the alarm when the container is full. Is there a way to invert the condition? I don’t see any setting for that. Thanks.

Hello,

Switch level sensor can be materially inverted, return floaty part.

I know I can physically flip over the float. The point of my question was to avoid doing that because of possible cord interference but I guess based on this response there is no way to do it other than physically flip the float.

Of course, there is also a invert toggle button for each level sensor on the sensors tab of the level controls circuit page.
