Fishie September 12, 2012 September 12, 2012 i currently have this setup for my skimmer Fallback OFF Set ON If FeedA 005 Then OFF If FeedB 005 Then OFF If Power EB8_5 Off 005 Then OFF If Outlet HighSump = ON Then OFF My question is for the last line...how do i change it to delay for 5 minutes when my virtual outlet highsump comes on... basically everytime the sump is high for w.e reason i would like to delay the start by 5 minutes just like the previous entries once the sump level is restored to normal

Unfortunately the 'defer' command won't work with an 'if'. The following will keep the skimmer off for 6 minutes during a feed or power off on eb8_5, but it is an easy to program compromise. Fallback OFF Set ON If FeedA 001 Then OFF If FeedB 001 Then OFF If Power EB8_5 Off 001 Then OFF If Outlet HighSump = ON Then OFF Defer 005:00 Then ON
Fishie September 12, 2012 Author September 12, 2012 (edited) awesome thx much final o/p...gonna use feed B during a water change kinda deal Fallback OFF Set ON If FeedA 001 Then OFF If FeedB 120 Then OFF If Power EB8_5 Off 001 Then OFF If Outlet HighSump = ON Then OFF If Outlet ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF Defer 005:00 Then ON Edited September 12, 2012 by Fishie

Fallback OFF Set ON If FeedA 001 Then OFF If FeedB 001 Then OFF If Power EB8_5 Off 001 Then OFF If Outlet HighSump = ON Then OFF Defer 005:00 Then ON I considered doing this, but found it easier to setup a ghost energy bar 8 in the apex. You can then use the variable 'water change'. If you ever turn this on, you can set each real outlet you want to go off. For instance, in this you could add the lines: If Outlet WaterChange = ON Then OFF If Outlet WaterChange = OFF Then ON These two lines can be on your heater, ato, gfo pump, return, etc... outlet profiles. If you do it this way, then you don't have to worry about the timer running out (ok, 2 hours is a crazy amount of time for a water change, but I still like to have to manually turn it back off) This is where I. Learned most the advanced programming: http://reeftech.webs.com/Apex%20New%20User%20Guide.pdf. I found this very useful. Page 97 is the section on ghost/virtual outlets. I use these like crazy. They are very cool. Turn one of these on, and it sets my vortechs (via the wxm) to nutrient export mode or whatever other mode I have setup for it to do. Edited September 12, 2012 by Jesse
