i did it, finally save my pennies for a hydros controller. i got a launch and an additional 8xp.

so what do i need to make my skimmer pump stop pumping if my cup is full?
turn on my sump light when i open my cabinet doors?

with my old school apex i use a breakout box and use if then statements

Set up the bbq at Toan's new house and I'll have my IT guy (@jimmy007) program everything for you. By the time he's done, you will have automatic underwear changes every two days.

They use sense ports for these and other sensors. You can use their 0-10v input cable and wire in a float switch. I forget what 0-10v options are on the Launch?

If you are on FB at all there is a hydros users group that you can join. There are a ton of users there that are full of good advice on how to get things going. Once you add your first few sensors and output devices I think you will find that things become rather intuitive and easy.

Congrats! Hydros make very good hardware - mine has been solid, zero issues! It’s rather boring now… ;)
