Will it pop up MOS
Just a generic switch description like sw 1
Will just show open and closed. If you move the optic under water and then dry to make it toggle you will see witch one it is.

Is the state of that when dry Open or Closed? I am guessing it is open. Submerge it in water and it should close. That should trigger that outlet to be off. You have to have the outlet to auto for that to work.

Slide the outlet to the center auto position. Shouldn’t need the time in the program.

I take it that you changed the name of SWX4_3 to OVF_HI?

If OVF_HI is another switch and you DIDN'T change the default switch then add:

If SWX4_3 CLOSED Then OFF

Ahh, so you're completely in the dark with all this.

Perhaps the best thing is to get you on the phone and walk you through everything.
Yes completely new to Neptune the BRS and YouTube videos made it look plug and play

It is pretty plug and play.

Send me a message. You can make me a admin on your system and I can help you program it remotely.

There's easy tasks and then it can get complicated.

Probably best to crawl before you walk. Before you know it, you'll be running.
Im a very handy person just not that tech savvy but I’m definitely willing to learn!

Ps-just viewed your build thread…… just wow

That suncrest guy does an excellent job laying out the basics. Those are probably a good place to start. Neptune has their own forum and there are some real experts there like RussM.

Somehow, I became the local guru for apex programming. I have access to quite a few fusion accounts. To be honest, it gets old real quick. The reason why is because I brain dump all the specifics and when someone wants help, I have to relearn everything that I've done for them in the past. Grrr! Haha

I've seen @braaap offer good advice in the past. You should be in good hands.
