I have a pressure activated float switch that I use to detect when my skim locker is full. It has the mini din type connector. I was wondering how to use this to cut power to my skimmer when this style switch is activated. The only thing I can find is related to ATO, leak detection or in conjunction with the Doser. It’s gotta be simple, but I’m missing it.
 
If it is GHLs own floater switch with their mini DIN plug - it is easy if you have a profilux computer 3.xx and above

Do you have that or it is only a Doser SA you have?

I will comeback with a description later on if you have a P3 or P4 Can I do it in GCC or do you prefer MyGHL?

I found it in the manual but it’s listed as “Leak Detection” so it kinda threw me. Pretty sure I have it working properly and reacting the way I want !!
 
You can also do it with the normal ATO function but invert the function when you bind it to the actual switch. It is a way to do it if you do not want to have any alarms - just let it switch off
