ATO Failed to Run Alarm

[Bonnie and Clyde]

I know Carlos mentioned it in a video but I can't seem to find it.

Is there a way to set up an alarm if my ATO does not run for 24hr?

I have a Control 4 and the Hydros ATO Kit.

Thanks!

Yes you can. The maximum time off and maximum time on both will send an alert if you have alerts set on the output. Below is a screenshot of my ATO setup. The times are setup for a dosing pump instead of the Hydros ATO pump. So my pump takes a lot longer to deliver the same amount of water. The maximum time off I have set is 6 hours. If it uas not run in 6 hours something has to be causing it. Usually this will happen if I wait too long to clean the overflow weir. Then when I do the sump will get a high level and take several hours to drop back down low enough to demand a top off. In the second screenshot the top 2 alerts are for the ATO max time off.

So just to make sure.
This has no minimum time on (turn on whenever)
Max time off 12 hrs (so I will get an alert if it hasn't run in 12 hours)
It will run for a minimum of 3 seconds and a maximum of 15 seconds (I have a 40 gallon tank... never runs for long)

Any deviations I get an alarm?

That should do it. What ever the orange notification level is set for. That is how you get the alert. It could be either email, push notification or both.
