Problem with Apex FMM module

[smiley2024]

I am having troubles to get my FMM module to function as ATO

1. I am getting proper response from my sensors but the PMUP doesnt work
2. If i manually trigger the PMUP ON, it feeds properly but not on auto mode

So i was sure it was to do with the programming .. i have been reviewing the program and it looks ok to me... program as below

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If LOWATR OPEN Then ON
If HIWATR CLOSED Then OFF
If ATOLOW OPEN Then OFF
When On > 002:00 Then OFF

This is my second FMM and i still have the same problem even after replacing the FMM module.. any suggestions that i could do...

Please see these sensor status for reference

Couple things to check:

1. Do you have the additional power supply plugged into the FMM? (assuming yes given PMUP functions)
2. Do you have a green light on the FMM?
3. I don't see a close statement for the LOWATR switch, i.e. If LOWATR CLOSED Then OFF
Mine as an example:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If LOW40S OPEN Then ON
If LOW40S CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 002:00 Then OFF
4. Is your named ATO tile set to AUTO?

5. Have you restarted the Apex after making programming changes?

I see you have an active alert. Have you resolved that bell indicator?

You don’t need If LOW40S CLOSED Then OFF as it would redundant.

Have you tried running the ATK task? Also can you post your Apex tree view expanded? (Press the gear and it’s the next icon)

Please see my replt as below

1. Yes power supply is functional since i am getting the PMUP to run when i switch it ON manually from the app
2. yes there is a green light
3. I had used the function from the task function and it didnt create such a statement to OFF when closed. I am assuming the ON when open gives the same function?
4. Yes this is the image i have attached. it is set to Auto
5. Yes i have restarted the Apex a couple of times but i still am unable to run the ATO function on auto
6. Bell indicator is my reminders for waterchange and not related to the ATK

Apex tree as attached

Try just the following code and see if it works -
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If LOW40S OPEN Then ON

Also go to the FMM on the modules page, is the Low and Hi set as optical sensors ?

Have you tried deleting the FMM and sensors, rebooting the Apex, then running the ATK task again?

I understood that just didn't want him to add it.

lol... i just tried deleting under modules section.. and restarted apex... its not showing up on the tree... looks like my 1 month old FMM is dead already

 

[RoanokeReef]

Dang that sucks, seems odd it would go bad like that.

 

[smiley2024]

I guess I will have to go with tunze ato osmolator next... these fmm modules are down with failures

Try plugging the FMM into a different AquaBus port if you have one available

 

[smiley2024]

I did try that.. infact I even tried changing to a new bus cable but the status led is not on and fmm is not being detected

Try plugging the FMM into a different AquaBus port if you have one available

Sorry to hear, that's unfortunate for sure. Best of luck on how you move forward, be that a service ticket, Hydros, or separate ATO!
