If level senor loses connectivity, does it default to OFF?

Seems a disaster waiting to happen that it keeps active when disconnected?

That´s the reason why there is a Max-on-time.

In general, there are two possibilities for a switch is not plugged in:

Contact is recognized as closed. In this case a drain procedure will fail and empty too much - this is a problem but it will not cause real big damages if you have a secure drain pipe (not possible to drain to empty).

Contact is recognized as open (your wish) - in that case it would not be recognized if a fill switch is not connectet - this may cause a flooded living room.

I suggest, the first option is the less worse one ....

For sure it wold be possible to build up a system with on-of-unconnected state but it would need complete new hardware.

It can't be done through firmware; that if Profilux loses connectivity it defaults to OFF?

Or then maximum on-time should be separate for fill and drain.

Due this is hardware related: No, think it´s not possible.

+1 on the Max-On-Time...

Would be nice to have a separate time for Auto-Top Off, AWC Drain, and AWC Fill

Thanks

Can't you have the ATO and AWC on separate events? That way you can limit ATO to a small timeframe.

Also what pumps do you use? The fast the pumps can fill and drain the better since this will reduce your timewindow and potential for disasters.
