I set up a basic code like this
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then ON
this works well EXCEPT any slight variation in water level turns the pump on and off constantly. So I added this extra line (which does nothing)
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then ON
When ON > 002:00 Then OFF
I thought this would turn the pump on for 2 min and then back off, but it doesn't do anything. Also, I see lots of threads with DEFER and MIN but don't quite understand what it means.
Basically I'd like to have the pump turn on for 2-3 min... and then set it so it ignores the switch (can't turn back on) for 30 min. And maybe a line that says if it stays on for more than 10 min it turns off and alerts me?
Note: I don't have a second float (yet.) My ATO chamber is part of the sump, so if it does stick, it will simply flow back into the ATO chamber when the sump level gets too high. That said: I'll add a second float anyway.
Perhaps this?
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 2:00 Then OFF
Min Time 10:00 Then OFF
DEFER to keep in ON for 2min? and MIN for stopping it, if stuck on for 10 min?
