[Kingsley_Reef]

Hello i purchased a Neptune MOS I have placed high in my overflow my goal would be for when this sensor gets wet it will shut off my return can anyone help me with this?

Will it pop up MOS

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.

Okay cool found it “SWX4_3” long delay before it changes to open closed on the dash is that normal?

Yes its quick in the apex just a little delay through fusion for you to see it.

So I’ve gotten this far with the task but I can not get it shut down that outlet when submerged

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.

 

[Kingsley_Reef]

Yes right is it is dry and reading open

How to I make the outlet to auto?

 

[MNCYC]

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

 

[MNCYC]

Apologies. Looks like that may be your feeding time.

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

 

[Kingsley_Reef]

Apologies. Looks like that may be your feeding time.

I didn’t add that time I’m not sure what that even is

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.
