I am trying to setup a virtual outlet as something like "On Generator Power" which will automatically detect when it's running on a generator (and power off non-critical components). I have Apex (classic) running with power detection mode with one EB on an UPS (Just to supply power to Apex during the time when I switch between grid and generator power) and several other EBs that are connected through a electrical sub-panel that can be manually switched to generator power in case of a power outage.
So basically I want to setup the virtual output like this:
Apex Power OFF EB 8 Power ( Either on Grid on Generator) On Generator (Virtual Outlet) 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
I will use some defer statements to make sure when power comes back on, "On Generator" doesn't immediately switch to "OFF" overloading the generator before I flip the sub-panel to grid.
I am thinking something like this:
FALLBACK OFF
SET OFF
POWER APEX OFF THEN ON
POWER EB8 OFF THEN OFF
Defer 30:00 Then ON (defer on state for 30 mins, off will be immediate)
