liquid shutoff and liquid pipe thermo sensor

im having trouble filtering water out of my pipe, the water keeps coming out of the green output whether the liquid pipe thermo sensor is on or off.

You need to connect the sensor to the shutoff with an automation wire.

its connected but the water still ignores the sensor

Is there anything else applying a signal to that line offscreen? That switch you've got there might be doing it. (I haven't actually done much with manual switches so I'm not sure.)

If there's two sources of signals, "on" (green) takes precedence, like an OR gate.
The pump is on there, as it is receiving a green signal.

I agree with Fractalgem's assessment. The switch signal and the temperature sensor signal are conflicting with each other. If you want to for example have the switch dictate whether or not you will shunt water of a certain temperature over, but at all other times you do not, you need to use an AND gate. Otherwise signals interfere with each other.

The circuit I described would have the following: (Switch AND temperature are green = valve open)
AND Input 1: Switch
AND Input 2: Sensor
AND Output: Valve

im using an AND gate but the water is still coming out of the green output. it still wont filter the desired temperature waters out. Anyone want to explain how the filter works please?

Why do you have 2 switches now? One of the inputs of the and gate was for the sensor, not a second switch. Hold on, I'm going to go into creative and show you what I mean.

What's the point of the and gate and the two switches, am I just not understanding what's meant to happen or is the problem simple over engineering ?

Hook it up like here. The output from the and gate is the only thing connected to the valve.

Also, I seem to have forgotten how to activate creative mode :/ No matter, I have plenty of 200+ cycle colonies.

[GoForTopher]

Oh I kinda understand what's meant to be happening now, you need the output of the and going to the shutoff, and the two inputs should be your switch and the temp sensor.

edit, CPT posted a good eg. above while I was typing this haha.

My guess Gofortopher is that he wanted a way to manually stop all the water from going to his reservoir with the use of a switch. The problem is he has 2 outputs on the same input and those outputs are competing. He has to have some logic between them, hence the And gate.

[fractalgem]

Yeah. You need to wire a switch output to one of the AND-gate inputs, the sensor to the other input, and then the output to the pump.
