I'm sorry but I still don't follow your meaning.
When you talk about seconds you mean the doser chart? (Could be an ATO chart but I don't have an ATO so I don't know what it looks like.) If that is so, the "seconds" axis shows the totalized time the doser was turned on during the day. That is controlled by the doser schedule that the user sets up, e.g. dose for 120 seconds at 5 minutes past every two hours; for this example the total for the day would be 120 * 24/2 = 1440 seconds. Since the user sets up this schedule there seems no need to know when the doser is turned on and off.
As for the solenoid valve, I don't use one in my tank because I don't have an ATO which is where I think it would be used. Maybe you mean a float switch. I don't yet have any in my tank either, but am planning to use them as sensors to turn off the dosers when the Ca/Alk/Mg supplements run low in their respective containers. This would require a software change so that the totalizers stay accurate and also include the stay-off-upon-boot feature.
Perhaps you could draw me a diagram so I can better visualize your request. Thank you for your patience.
