Is it possible to turn on a EB8 outlet for 3, 4, or 5 seconds? I was thinking of using one of the feed cycle buttons.
Thanks

If you want to use a feed cycle to turn something on for 3 seconds, you would first set the feed cycle duration to 1 minute (the smallest it will let you) and then use this code.
Set OFF
If FeedA 000 Then ON
Defer 000:57 Then ON
You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
Although when you press the button, nothing will happen for 57 seconds.
Where Do I type in that code? I am trying to turn on an AC/DC convertor for 3 seconds and then off. The convertor is plugged into my EB8.
Thank you!
In whatever outlet you have it plugged into. You have to go into the classic dashboard in the misc setup to adjust the duration of FeedA though.
If you don't want to wait the 57 seconds, there is a way around it using virtual outlets, but this way is much simpler.

OK. I read the manual and got it working. Thanks again.

I am waiting the 57 seconds. Can you tell me how I can have a more immediate response? I need very basic instructions; I am new and not very good with this stuff.
For an immediate response you need to create a virtual outlet with the following code and also change the physical outlet code.
VOname
Set OFF
If FeedA 000 Then ON
Defer 000:03 Then ON
Physical Outlet
Set OFF
If FeedA 000 Then ON
If Output VOname = ON Then OFF

What is the error description its giving?

Double check the case sensitivity of the outlet name. It turned red so I assume you got it right, but double check just in case.

I checked and the Capital "V" and "C" in VectraCntrl are correct.
Here is my VO. I am not sure if I did it correctly.

Probably just a bug. The syntax is right. Perhaps try using Outlet instead of Output and see if it will send (if you have an older firmware Outlet is the correct syntax. A while back I think 2 years ago they changed the terminology).

You are correct.
"Outlet" worked. Thank you!
However, now The device is not activating.
Is everything in AUTO and the code uploaded for both? Should turn on immediately and stop 3 seconds later.

I don't know how to put the VO on the dashboard to put it on Auto
I got it! and it works.
A million thanks To Zombie and RKpetersen!!
Does anyone know if I can set up my apex without having the apex display ? Can I use my laptop to get my apex system linked to my phone?
Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
