Hi Addi, that doesn't sound right, I'm pretty sure I have it setup correctly. The float switch can be reversed maybe that's affecting it. Did you adjust the settings on the service screen? My board is ripped apart, I'll get it together tomorrow and verify its working. It sounds like you have everything wired correctly as it does work.

Hi Addi, I'm embarrassed to say it is backwards. This update is almost finished and it will be correct.
 Tomorrow I'll send you a patch you can add to the sketch to get it working properly.

Hi Addi, in the ethernet sketch find line 509 and 513 and change "HIGH" to "LOW" on line 509 and "LOW" to "HIGH" on line 513.

Rob,
My ato doesn't work properly. It's ok on test (0 hour), but not automatically. I tested several setting (1, 5,6, 12, 16,...) without any success. What can I do?

Hi Dom, unfortunately there's an issue and only 0 hours works, I'm away right now so can't fix it until I'm back. Hopefully your water isn't to wavy causing it to go on/off all the time.

no worry i have a look every days, changing the setting to check if it works. But I did not thought to keep the ato on manual position...

Hi Dom, I think I got the ATO fixed but don't have access to my controller right now to try it so could you please test it out for me? Download v4.10 again and you only need to upload to the controller. First try it in "test mode (0)" with the backup timer set to 1 minute, then let it run for the 1 minute to make sure the icon turns red and the pump shuts off. If that works you can set it to check every 1-24 hrs and it should be ok. Thanks!

Hey Dom, thanks, not sure what I missed, I really messed up on this one. I have sketches where it's working for sure as I did fix it but then I starting updating the LED light modes and got in deeper than I expected, then I ran out of time and now the sketches that work for the ATO have issues with the lights. I thought I copied the changes over but obviously missed something. Sorry I'll try and get that fixed as soon as possible.

Hi Jmcadsl, sorry that's a software issue, I'll have an update out in a few days to fix it.
