Apex Breakout Box Programming

[hiimsean]

I'm getting a little overwhelmed with programming my ATO using the BoB. It seems like most people are using the same switch, open and close, to trigger the ATO pump then have a second switch as a fail safe. For those using the BoB to control their ATO, mind sharing some programming.

I've been referencing these two threads

I guess the part that confuses me is you need create a virtual outlet for the switch on/off command then pretty much put the exact same code into the pump outlet?

The VO just creates an on/off state. Then you reference the VO on the pump outlet like If VO1 CLOSED then ON

Where VO1 is one of your switches

I would do a search on the Neptune forum for 'ATO using BOB' or 'ATO using breakout box' and you should find plenty of good examples. I only use it for sump level and ATO reservoir alerts so I can't be a great help. Neptune forum is awesome... some of their regulars have been absolute superheroes for me and my idiocy.

Here is what i have
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then ON
If Sw1 OPEN Then OFF
Min Time 01:00 Then OFF

I'm not sure how to program it to where it will only run 10 mins in and given CLOSED position.
