Hi jlysaght3, it sounds like the eeprom wasn't setup properly when you initially updated to v5. By default all the outlet icons should have been N/A so no heaters would be assigned. The fact you experienced that means something is definitely not correct with the settings. Even though you've figured it out I'm worried a lot of other settings are way off, probably using 4.2 values.
I assume you have 5.06 loaded so go to settings, system and press restore defaults, the controller/display will restart after about 5 minutes and you should see all the outlet icons as N/A. Then you'll have to set things up again, sorry but you should really do this, definitely sounds like its required.
Float sensors can be quite sensitive and don't take much movement to open/close, any small waves can make that happen and because the custom rules are checked in real time that relay would chatter, not sure why it locked up though, I'll have to see if I can replicate that. Any time you use a float switch or any switch you should add at least a 1 second delay.
As for the manual mode the results you got is normal. If you put an outlet in manual mode this action is saved so if controller is restarted it will remember that outlet was in manual mode and will power back up that way. If you restart the controller or power outage it will always startup exactly as it was when it restarted. If you put something in manual mode you have to take it out of manual mode or it will remain in that state forever.
Let me know how it goes.
