The choice depends on you. If you want to create the Action to add extra liquid when Kh the kH level is below the desired level, then we choose

Status
title KH is below

. When we want to skip part of the next dose then please choose

Status
title KH is above

. In the example, we will show you how both Actions work.

Please choose

Status
title KH is below

Next, enter a value (when the KH Keeper keeper result will be below the specific level of your desired dkH then the system will add an extra dose)

For this example, we chose 7 dkH.

...

Then select the pump for the integration (we can do the same Action several times for different pumps)

...

For In this example, we have chosen the kH pump

...

Next, we need to choose an Action which that will be triggered when the dkH level is bellow below 7.

In this step, you can see all the available Actions. So for the lower dkH level, we can use

or

Status
title manual dose %

from the last dose.

...

We will choose

Status
title manual dose %

from the last dose - This means that when your Kh kH level will be below the 7 Kh kH level, then Dosing pump/s will add an extra dose increased by % based on the last dose.

...

For In this example, we typed 30% so when the kH level is below 7 the system will add an extra30% liquid calculated from the last dose. So if you your last dose (before measurement) was 9 ml then the Dosing pump will add extra 3 ml.

The

Status
title Enter delay

function is the number of minutes the pump will delay. This feature is helpful when you have 2 or more pumps. We don’t want to add all the liquids at one time. So when you add the next pump to the Action please type specific enter a delay here, for instance, 2 minutes. So the second pump will dose 2 minutes after the first one. When there are more than two, then the next pump should be also delayed. See the example below example. You can set the delay in this way:

Pump 1: 0

Pump 2: 2

...

Tip
Congratulations! your first Action is made. Now when your Kh kH level is below the desired level set then the Dosing pump will add the extra quantity.
