    I have tried and tried all morning to set up my apex for the ato. I have a reservoir that I have installed a high float switch to stop water from filling it and a low water switch to cut cut on a pump to fill the reservoir via solenoid switch.
    My goal is to have the apex cut on the fill pump when the lower switch is activated and stay on until the high switch is activated.

    I have already setup virtual outlets:
    Low_ato
    High_ato

    Can anyone help with the code please ...

    Falback off
    Set off
    If outlet Low_ato = on then on
    If outlet High_ato = on then off

    I have outlet high to turn to non state when water is full and low to turn on when water is low

    I'd need to see your code for the low and high outlets too.

    I have redone the code I posted... I am trying all kinds of stuff and I just cant get it.. Here is the code I currently have:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Outlet high_sump = ON Then ON
    If Outlet low_sump = OFF Then OFF


    High_sump
    Set OFF
    If Switch4 CLOSED Then ON


    Low_sump
    Set ON
    If Switch5 CLOSED Then OFF

    I know I am way off base.. I am trying a little of everything..


    PLease note
    - I am changing the orientation to switch4. I have the switch out right now and I am going to flip and mount it upside down where the float works in the oppisit direction...
