Poked around for a bit and couldn't find an answer, so here goes:

I use 2x simple dosers for AWC. My drain line (direct to sewer) plugged and until I have a chance to run a larger line, I'm draining dirty water into a 5g bucket. I want to use a mechanical float switch to shut off the AWC dosers when closed so the bucket doesn't overflow.

I don't see any dependency options on the doser setup pages, and the mechanical float switch is not an option in the schedule dependency menu.

How can I accomplish this?
 
Are you using a schedule to do the AWC or the built in AWC output. With the AWC output you also need to use the Hydros for ATO from within that AWC output. Either way you can setup a generic output type that is setup with the one input from your full sensor set to active when wet. Then use that output in the schedule for the water change in the depends on section and set the dependency mode to off if on. Then the schedule will not start if that that output is on. Once it starts it will complete the current operation even if the output comes on so the AWC will not stop mid stream in a water change. So make sure there is leeway for it to complete at the full trigger point.
