My display is on the fritz and I frankly do not want to buy another one. The one thing I use regularly on it are the buttons for the feed cycle. Is there a way to start a feed cycle using a breakout box? Like If SW1 open then FeedA. Thanks

You can't trigger a feed mode with anything except fusion or a display. You can simulate a feed mode with a virtual outlet though.
Ex
vFeedA
Set OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 005:00 Then OFF
Other devices
(Existing code)
If Output vFeedA = ON Then OFF
You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
I see. when Sw1 is closed, the v outlet turns on for 5 minutes and then off. Does it matter that Sw1 is still closed once the defer is up? In other words, I am using a physical switch that controls Sw1 and once I switch it closed, it stays closed. What happens when I turn it back to the Open position? nothing? Or could I just add another code that states
vFeedA
Set OFF
If Sw1 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 005:00 Then OFF
if Sw1 OPEN Then ON
Defer 005:00 Then OFF
Other devices
(Existing code)
If Output vFeedA = ON Then OFF
so that way every time I turn that switch CLOSED or OPEN it runs the vFeedA cycle
No. You toggle it up until it activates and then you toggle it back down and it stays on 5 minutes after you toggle it back down. You could also use a momentary push button so you can't inadvertently leave it on.

Thanks Zombie. Makes more sense. If Sw1 is CLOSED it is ON the whole time it is closed. the Defer starts when that changes and is not true any more.
