**08:14 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767888879999349):** im going to be working on comm fail logic, alarm notifications, and analog drop outs.. i'ld like to set it up to only drop out once comm fail goes into alarm (with its adjustable delay)
**08:14 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767888883234719):** @Kevin
**08:30 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889849913299):** Copy
**08:30 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889858098679):** and the punch list items
**08:31 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889868244839):** Thank you
**08:31 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889873261429):** see my notes on the TOU
**08:31 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889880574409):** Not yet
**08:32 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889920641259):** k.. logic is expecting the start time to before the stop time
**08:32 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889950394679):** if we want it to work this way, i'll have to come up with some new logic
**08:33 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767889990844599):** Peak electric time is 4pm to 9pm. This is when we want the wells off
**08:34 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890041559529):** got it.. i'll figure something out
**08:34 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890058539579):** do we want it to work both ways?
**08:34 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890075682569):** or should i just swap the logic
**08:36 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890165153649):** The old peak times were 11am to 5pm. I guess it is possible that one day it goes back to that but I wouldn't worry about it unless you want to
**08:36 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890194280899):** even at 11am to 5pm it would be the same as 4 - 9
**08:36 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890207390289):** i programmed it as a ON duration.. i just need to change it to an OFF duration
**08:37 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890245961039):** but if we then wanted the pump to run from 9am-5pm and be off all night. this logic wouldnt work
**08:38 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890336271209):** Let's just make it work as it needs to for now
**08:39 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890375722509):** ok. i think we could keep two versions of the TOU logic and have them toggled with a switch on the HMI..
**08:39 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890389222839):** if that makes sense.. they would have to select whether the pump is on or off between the times
**08:40 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890439258629):** Alright that sounds good
**08:40 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890445796339):** want me to build that/
**08:41 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890462073189):** Yes
**08:41 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890484139389):** ok! lets get this thing polished up
**08:41 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890502049239):** Thank you!
**08:43 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890626028339):**

**08:43 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890629370309):** are these the signals that dont exist?
**08:44 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890655849999):** should i gray them out? remove them? make them blink? what do you think
**08:47 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767890855026409):** @Kevin
**08:54 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767891264579199):** Yes those
**08:54 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767891280547279):** Maybe remove the numbers?
**09:08 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767892136762879):** do you want to keep the labels? or remove the items completely
**09:09 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767892147465909):** does that make sense?
**09:09 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767892158396459):** just remove the number or remove the whole thing
**09:24 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767893063015679):** Keep the labels as we will probably be adding these later
**09:24 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767893069335399):** copy
**09:24 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767893088366049):** Sorry, dealing with WiFi issues at the house
**09:26 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767893170284529):** no problem.. i should be good for a while
**11:25 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767900347286789):** here is the sales order that has the serial number. there is also a phone number at the top if you need it.

**13:04 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906285256279):** doesnt make sense but i guess that shouldnt matter
**13:05 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906313091439):** is this just for us for now? or should i figure out how to make the description carry over
**13:05 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906346664429):** would be cool if we could know what the alarm is
**13:06 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906362445619):** but notification alone is good for now
**13:06 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906394951839):** i can dive into it.. just want to be sure you want me to spend the time on it
**13:06 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906411803479):** eventually it will need to send alarms to Paul
**13:06 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906418659829):** email or signal4?
**13:07 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906423734079):** email is no problem
**13:07 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906431442569):** email
**13:07 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906438441559):** so.. the qeustion remains
**13:07 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906463321489):** go ahead and figure it out
**13:07 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767906465755659):** copy
**13:17 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767907033665559):** ooo look at that!

**13:18 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767907101053539):** one day the real trick will be to get Signl4 to send ack back to scada
**13:18 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767907115274819):** yeah that's nice!

**13:39 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767908353932869):** 5 minutes between retries? 10?
**13:39 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767908395709099):** signal 4 is pretty good at getting your attention.. but im not sure yet how comfortable i am with one and done? maybe its fine
**13:40 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767908406148169):** thoughts?

**13:47 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767908829378029):** do you pay attention to the daily alarm tests from buellton? do we want those coming into our signl4 still?
**13:47 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767908868575879):** I think we can take them out.
**13:49 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767908971606249):** are you still working on buellton? i dont remember exactly where that setting is, but i can get in there and figure it out

**18:45 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C09D358F91R/p1767926756144849):** not sure whats causing this yet
