How to Sey Hydros Rules

[tonybuonantuono]

Just added a wifi outlet. Have existing Hydros with pH probe. Would like to set a rule to turn skimmer off if pH hits 8.35.
Cant figure out how to do this

Setup a generic output and use the pH input as the control input, set it to be on if pH is below the setting you want. Then go to you skimmer and set the depends on setting to the new output and set it to off if off. If there was a depends on setting already on the skimmer then set that up on the new output. Below is the output I use to control the skimmer. I added the pH as the 4 input so you can see. There is no way to set it for 8.35 exactly since the setting does not have that resolution. You also have to set the low point for where it turns back on , at 8.3 here. The high point will turn it off, at 8.4 here.

Thank you. Set it up ,see what happens.
Had this set up for heater but heater didn't come on. Do I have it set right?

The way your heater is set it will turn on if temp goes down to or below 78.2 and it will stay on until it goes up to or above 81 degrees. It will then stay off until it goes down to or below 78.2 again. So it can be on or off between the temps you have set depending on what occurred last. I would not have the turn on setting and the turn off setting that far apart. The wording is being changed on the set points to solve any confusion as to what those settings do. Otherwise there is no change in how the heater type output actually works. Below is the settings on one of my heaters. I only have the two setting .2 degrees apart.
