First find the switch. It’s usually a (SWX#_#) identification. Then in the skimmer outlet in advanced settings add

If SWX#_# (open or close) Then Off

Then most likely the wires are backwards, switch them and try again. Also, there's a delay in fusion seeing the change state of the switch, when in fact the unit itself has changed status.

You using apex or aqua controller?
Apex has 6 switches, aqua controller only does 2.

There should be a gear icon for each one, but I’m not seeing it. Maybe click the gears icon tab and look under modules. You can also try under tasks.

For the apex classic you need to go throw the back door. So you need to find out the IP address. If you have the display is easy to find the IP address. Just go into net setup and the IP address should be displayed in the info. With out the display you need to log into your router using 192.168.1.1 the standard login is admin for user and admin for password, unless you have changed it. Once you have logged into your router look through the connected devices. I’ll usually unplug and plug in the Ethernet several times to verify that that IP address is linked to your apex. Now that your in this setting of your router see if you can reserve your apex to that IP address

Now that you know the IP address of the apex enter the IP address in the web address of your internet browser. I will recommend doing this on a laptop or pc. It’s extremely hard to do on a mobile device. Once you have entered the IP address a pop up will appear. Use admin for user and 1234 for password. You should then be token to a screen that shows you the outlets and probes. At the top you will see a bar the 4 or 5 selection should be (Configuration), a drop down will appear once you click on that. Sorry it getting a little fuzzy and hard to remember what are the actual available selections but there should be something that says modify names or probes or outlets. I believe your looking for probes. Then another pop will appear and you can select the switch you want and change the name.

But fyi I believe if you have the display you can do all this on the display
