check my APEX ATO program

I got the program to work but now it wont stop my aqualifter pump. I put the pump on outlet 5 and put the statement,
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Switch1x5_1 CLOSED Then ON

Put it on outlet 4 or 8. These are relays for low power devices ie Aqualifter. 1-3 & 5-7 are TRIACs.

i put it on 4 and it still leaves the pump running when I set it to auto
TopOff outlet
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Switch1 CLOSED Then ON

Switch1x5_1
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Switch1 CLOSED Then ON

on my dashboard Switch1 is closed

I have my virtual outlet and my physical outlet set up, but my Aqua lifter is still staying on. I have a light and a fan set on the outlet as well and its not stopping the pump.

Skip the VO for now, just stick with the actual outlet. Looking at the code you have for TopOff Outlet, it's looks good. Check the connections to the breakout box?

 

[james1990]

Heres the issue. I have my VO named Switch1x5_1 and when I put that name into the statement it reappears as only "Switch1" and not the x5_1. not sure what this means.

 

[james1990]

is there any chance the "5" in "x5_1" is wrong?

 

[Widdy]

I think there's a mixup between physical outlets, virtual outlets and name of switches.

Simplify it with just dealing with just 1 physical outlet and the actual switch name. Once you get that functioning, you can apply VOs for expanded functions.
