You have the wrong in the email alarm program.

Swx3_1 is the low optical sensor, which determines if ATO is needed or not. Swx3_2 is the high-level optical sensor, which is used as a safety check should the water level rise above the normal level. That's the one you would want an alarm about.


Change:

If Swx3_1 CLOSED Then ON

to:

If Swx3_2 CLOSED Then ON

And you should change the input names to something descriptive and more meaningful.


For example, change Swx3_1 to ATO-OS and Swx3_2 to SumpHi

Thank you but it appears to be still alarming for now will let it sit

2018-11-23 00:00:54 -0500 OFF If Swx3_1 CLOSED Then ON
2 2018-11-23 00:00:57 -0500 ON If Swx3_1 CLOSED Then ON

Changing _1 to closed then off and -2 to closed then on seems to have worked. Why would it configure wrong out of the box ugh

I hope you did not make the change in the ATK outlet programming.
That programming that you listed is correct.

The change should be made in the Email Output.
