Hello Rob,
So I figured out my issues with the V5.0x, or so I believe.
By default, RT assigns a port on the power bar to be a heater outlet, and no matter what is scheduled the custom rules overrule my settings for that port. In my case my return pump was plugged into outlet 1, but the controller had automatically assigned that to heater 1, and with my heater temp control settings in the controller it was not ever kicking on because the temp was always over my "on" threshold. Once I tweaked this (by switching assigned outlet OR by changing trigger temp) I was able to overcome this issue.
The next issue I had is custom rules not running based off of a float level sensor. I am still finding this buggy - I had to set the float sensor rule to have a 5 second delay to ensure stability or else the outlets would audibly click on and off in quick succession before the controller apparently locked up on that port and would no longer operate the outlets (except in manual mode). If I reboot then I have to manually press the "resume" button on the home screen to get the controller outlets to resume automatic mode, so they are not launching into auto mode from initial booting.
I have yet to run the controller through a full day cycle (I just got this much working in the last hour) so I cannot report on the longevity of this fix, but will report back tomorrow for research sake.
