Max On Time / Alert but no kill switch?

[robert404]

C2 with ATO setup on a fresh tank, simple. If maximum on time is reached the alert is sent - good to go.

How can I set this up so that if maximum on time is reached it sends an alert and kills/turns off the Output Device (in this case drive 1).

Alert is great but if I’m remote and in bad cell area I may not be able to kill that pump remotely — and there goes an overflow of water.

If you have it set like in the screenshot it should not run past max on time of 2 minutes. Why do you have depends on set to water low output and on if on. That may be the issue. The depends on is usually used to turn off an output when another output such as a return pump is also off.

Yeah agree with Danny here. The Depends On conditional is an absolute override and does not follow the min/max on/off timers. So if the Water Low input you have selected for the Depends On option is on, it’s gonna turn on this outlet regardless completely ignoring the max time on counter and running forever. You will want to remove the Depends On input you have and it will then follow the timers and shut off after 2 mins.

"The Depends On conditional is an absolute override and does not follow the min/max on/off timers."

This is the info I was missing. I'm going by trial and error on first setup. Is there a guide that defines what each of the fields and values conform to along with their limits etc.

Check here there are several workshops for the Hydros. One happens to be on ATO. Here is the link to the links for the workshops. HYDROS Live Workshops
