Sorry I don't understand very well your question. Do you mean that your sensor is closed by default?
Try setting the sensor as pull down and pull up to see the difference.

Hello,

i want to switch on a Pump after a switch was closed. But how long the OpenPlotter will act the Pump as on. The whole time the switch is on ? Or only one time trigger ?


hope this is better for your understanding now .


thanks

If you set an output to activate a pump, this will be on until you set the output off by another action. You should add an action to your switch to set the output on when the switch is closed and another action to set the output off when the switch is closed. A float switch will do this nicely.
