I've got the deluxe kit and need to run a couple of float switches for ATO purposes. I'm using a DC motor for a peristaltic pump (Kamoer pump), so can't use the AC float on the controller. The docs show how to connect a DS18B20 temp probe, but not a float switch. Do I connect +5 and ground and ignore the data pin or do I run +5 and data, or data and ground?

There's nothing to edit, should work after setting up. Are you able to verify the DC port is turning on/off by switching it manually from the equipment tab? Can you post a picture of the ATO settings?

Good to hear, I mixed up the wiring. If you put the float switch on Ground and Data and move the PD jumper to PU it would work without ticking reverse. Either works though.
