I am using the exact $39 timer I suggested a few pages ago, same principle that according to Mr Phelps would not work, I use an $8 sensor from Digikey to sense a magnet at each of four locations (home position)to trip the timer,reducing the number of magnets to just two would do exactly what MitchM required, the timer is set for around 7 seconds, it can be expanded to 8 hours if required.

Actually my comments where based more on clarification and trying to understand exactly how the system would work and to be sure it would work. I made it clear exactly what would be needed to make the system reliable and if you read the thread it was you who failed to provide the information I asked for, I actually repeated questions multiple times.

I'm also a mechanical engineer who works in automation of manufacturing equipment but I do however appreciate your efforts to drag my name through the mud. In the past I've installed half a dozen of your units on clients tanks based on my recommendations as well as recommended them to many others when the application fits. I won't be doing that anymore.
