    Feed mode A won't turn off powerhead

    I cannot figure out how to program "feed mode" to simply turn off the outlet I have my power head plugged into in Fusion. I click into the outlet to enter code but there is no "advanced" drop down area to enter code.

    Unless you are using a variable speed pump (vortechs, 0-10, WAV, etc.) It's in the drop down labeled "control type". This will automatically convert your existing code to advanced and you can add the feed statement at the end.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Thanks! Now that I changed control type to advanced the code doesn't seem to be working.
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF

    What is the time duration you have set for the Feed A cycle? This is programmed via classic or the interface and cannot be set via Fusion.

    As a test, change the FeedA000 to FeedA001 to see if it makes a difference.

    Yes, I did.
    I just realized that I had the dashboard tile for the powerhead outlet set to "on" instead of "auto". I changed it and it is now working. Thanks for the help Zombie, that was way more difficult than it should have been.

    how do you get your powerhead to run constantly when in auto? I only want my powerhead to turn off when feedA is on..

    Actually figured it out, just forgot the set on command. However I would like to set a 45 second delay before the powerheads come back on. Anyone know the command for that?

    in the Output configuration for the power head, if you have it configured for Feed off then you should see;
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF

    change the 000 to 001, this will add a one min delay after the feed cycle is over.
