Leak detector to turn off outlet

[Emon]

Good evening, I’m trying to hook up a leak detector to turn on an outlet on my apex. I’m having trouble writing the code, any help would b appreciated

Are you sure you want to turn it ON? If so, use this code:

Set OFF
If leakname CLOSED Then ON

Just substitute "leakname" with your sensor name. You can rename the sensor if you like, but be aware sensor names are limited to 6 characters.

Typically leak sensors are used to turn off pumps:

Set ON
If leakname CLOSED Then OFF

Keep in mind the sequence of your code matters. The last line that evaluates True will set the output state.

If you're new to the Apex, see my 8-part tutorial series: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-1.685/

When u write “then on” , I’m guessing I have to put the outlet name?

No. You need to go into the settings for the outlet (commonly referred to as an Output in Apex terminology) and place the line of code there. Here's an example if you wanted to turn on an output named Drain if the sensor named Leak1 detects water:
