Go to your OULETS page and find the outlet with the same name. Click on it, and in the resulting page it should tell you what DEVICE it is and what MODULE it is attached to.

So the ATK is based on Neptune's FMM module, which can be used either as an auto top-off or as a flow monitor (when connected to flow rate sensors). I wonder if the graph you are seeing is because the FMM module thinks you have a flow sensor installed?

Did you just install the ATK? If so, did you follow the Apex "task" to configure the module?

Flx3_1 indicates that it's port 1 on the FMM module at AquaBus address 3. If you have the ATK, this means that the FMM is mistakenly detecting the optical sensor on port 1 as a flow sensor. Try pushing the optical sensor cable more firmly into the FMM module. They can look like they're fully inserted, but another push causes it to "click" into place so the FMM module properly detects that it's an optical sensor instead of a flow sensor.

Read my ATK Tutorial for a more detailed list of troubleshooting instructions to verify your FMM and optical sensors are properly configured:

Been installed for months. I don't have a flow sensor, only a optical sensor and leak sensor connected to the module.

Regardless of how long it's been installed, or what you have plugged in, the FMM is mistakenly detecting the device on port 1 as a flow sensor. Double-check the plug anyway. You can also go into the configuration screen for the FMM module to see what it thinks is plugged in:

It removed my sensor for top off tank and put it as a flow sensor and after checking wires it went back to optical sensor.
