Hey @Mpower11 and @Thom,

Great minds think alike! I did see your ticket over with the support team and do see your water level sensors not reporting as we expect. That is the 1st place we will be troubleshooting. Support should respond within the hour.

Cheers,
Stephen

Not stuck moves up an down by hand easily
As soon as I hit fill it goes off an said fill completed. But will drain when I add water

At stage 7/14 in early veg could I have added to much water to get it going
Tried everything I know not sure what water level
It should be at

I had something sort of like this happen to me today. Drain worked fine until it wouldn’t stop, so I tried a pause and resume. As soon as I paused it said drain complete. After that, it was stuck in drain so I had to power cycle in order to fill. Started a fill and the light kicked green with pump running. The app immediately said fill complete while the pump was still running. Paused and restarted a couple times with same results so I let it do it’s thing while keeping an eye on water level. It stopped automatically but then didn’t shift away from the green light. Had to do another power cycle to get everything back to normal but have to manually dose nutes as they didn’t dispense with all the bugs happening.

I think the shield in front of the float sensors somehow backed up enough that the float didn’t raise all the way as it was blocked by the shield. It was only one sensor that couldn’t move up, and when a plant is in the unit, its not the first place I thought to look. Just had to jiggle the shield a bit to sort of move it back into place. Hard to describe. Haven’t had that issue since myself.
