I posted these screenshots after I figured out that the AWC output has its own schedule built in and after I set it up to run the 3 water changes starting at 9:00 AM. Prior to this I did have an external schedule created and did not have the schedule within the ATO output setup, that's why it wasn't running. I figured that part out. Once I figured out the AWC had its own schedule I switched to that and would set that schedule to run a few minutes from the time I was sitting there. The first time I did so it ran with no problem. I then tried to schedule it a a minute or two in the future and it wouldn't run.
That's when I noticed the "running wait" in the log. You said "For a period of time after the fill pump first turns off if the high level sensor goes dry it will use the fill pump to top off instead of the ATO. Mine has the running wait statements also. I will post it as a second screenshot." Do you know what this period of time is? From your logs it seems to vary but is about 20 to 25 seconds.
I now have it set up as I posted in my screenshots to run 3 times a day starting at 9 am and ending at 5 pm. I will watch it to see how this goes today.
I'm now curious about the advanced settings. For the FILL output device, the minimum and maximum on times seen self evident. I assume that when the schedule time comes around it will run for a minimum of the minimum on time. It will run for a maximum of the maximum on time. I assume this is a safety so it doesn't continue to fill if there were some kind of leak. My question is, what happens if the maximum on time is exceeded and the high level (ATO) sensor still hasn't seen water? Will it stop and generate an alert? Will it just stop and do nothing and no longer run at the next schedule time? Will it still run at the next scheduled time? What does the "run past max on time" switch do? Presumably if this is turned on it will continue to run forever past the max on time but generate an alarm?
The minimum off time is more confusing. If this is only running on a schedule, what good does the minimum off time do? It's going to stay off until after the next drain completes.
My next question is about the ATO function. I've not done enough experimentation to really run down this problem. But after I set this all up yesterday, I was testing things by running the AWC drain output and the AWC fill output manually and watching the high level ATO sensor wet/dry status in the app. What I noticed is that when I turned the ATO output to off and AWC drain output on and started draining water from the sump it needed to drop to the very bottom of the ATO sensor "cube" before it would indicate dry. The sensor cube has 3 engraved lines on it. I assume those correspond to the three detection levels. It would definitely get below the bottom of the lowest engraved line before the status for the sensor in the app would turn to dry. It basically would get all the way to the bottom of the cube.
I would then turn off the drain output and set the AWC back to auto. This would kick on the ATO output and start to fill. But it generally seems to fill too much and doesn't turn off the pump (according to the app) until it gets very close to the overflow kicking on. Sometimes it actually trips the overflow and generates an alarm. Not sure what may be going on here. I do have a suspicion on the overfilling. But is the bottom of the cube the dry level or the lowest engraved line?
