Additional Feature Request: Advanced\Generic\Input 1\Watts

[2plus2]

Hiya CoralVue!!!!!!
Hopefully this is a request that is possibly already in place but I cant seem to find it, if not please add!

I currently have my UV light set to shut down when below a certain GPH on it's pump, the reason being is because I have all pumps and lights controlled by Mobius.
*Advanced\Generic\Input 1\Flow meter*

Is there a way to control my skimmer by watts being used on the ecotech vectra S2, the reason why is because when i put the tank into feed mode the pump runs at 1% and the skimmer continues to run while the water rises a bit in the sump.

Please advise, thanks!!

For the skimmer you can add a water level sensor that is higher than your normal ATO sensor and use that to turn off the skimmer output if it goes wet. I have both overfull and low level sensors setup in my sump. Either will also send an alert but I do not turn off or lower my return flow during feed mode. I do slow down the flow pumps though.

I was trying to avoid buying another piece of equipment , I added an ATO 3 sensor to my pump area, and another basic water sensor where my filter floss is to let me know when to change filter floss, I will need to add another sensor for skimmer section.

Come to think of it, incase the ATO overflow sensor fails and starts overfilling my sump that new sensor can handle the overflow and skimmer section... hmmmmm you got me thinking now lol

As far as ATO you can set a maximum on time in the advanced settings and set run past max on time to off and then the longest it will run at any one time is that max on time. If it stops for exceeding maximum on time the output will stay off unless the ATO level goes wet or you intervene. You can also set it so it sends an alert if max on time is exceeded. If you have an alert set you can also set a maximum off time and if that is exceeded without the output coming on it will also send an alert for that but it will not turn on the output.
