Auto feeder not automatically coming on

[fishybizzness]

I set up a auto feeder because I will be going out of town next week. I set it up so my pump and skimmer turn off during feed mode A. If I hit feed mode A on the dashboard, everything works perfectly but I can't get it to work automatically. I have attached screenshots of the pump, skimmer and feeder programs. What am I doing wrong??

repeat interval is 60 day shouldn’t this be 365 days so it will operate feeding every day?

I thought it had to stay at the default setting of 60 if I am only doing 1 feeding a day.

Make sure you read the manual when you get new devices. The proper way to automate feeding is to use a virtual outlet and this basic code structure. This is how you would do a single rotation at 9am and 7pm with the return shutting off, wait one minute, feeder runs, wait 5 minutes return kicks back ON.

vFeed
Set OFF
If Time 09:00 to 09:05 Then ON
If Time 19:00 to 19:05 Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then ON

AFS
Set OFF
If Output vFeed = ON Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

Return and others you want off
(Existing code)
If Output vFeed = ON Then OFF

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

Thanks for the help. I set it up and I'll see if it works later today. I appreciate it
