I have this VarioS 6 skimmer controller and it has this issue ongoing for a while. For some reason that I don’t know if the power goes off for any reason, on return of power the controller doesn’t switch back on, even through the power supply is on. My VarioS controller is connected to the apex power bar.
I have attached a brief video showing what happens on return of power. The FS light keeps flashing and then it stops and the controller isn’t on. I do not have a FA attached to this VarioS controller. Though I have a separate float switch that is controlled directly by apex.
To get the skimmer back on, I have to manually remove the power plug from the controller and reinsert it. It sparks and then controller switches on. This time the FS light is solid red and I have to manually press FS to off and then the skimmer pump starts. It’s very annoying, that the skimmer is off most of the times.
any one any solutions other than buying a new one Again?

It may be that you need to add a delay to the outlet, so that it waits X amount of time after power is restored to switch the outlet on. This will give time for power to stabilize, it can fluctuate when first restored due to everything else in house and neighborhood coming back on at one time. As for the float switch, maybe reach out to Carlos @CoralVue_Marketing for a solution. I run all varios pumps in my system, both with and without float switches and have never had that issue.
 
Searching the internet for a solution and found this thread. Having the same issue with my Varios 6. Once the power is off, the only way to turn it back on is to reinsert the power on the controller.
