    Delay feeding for return to completely shut

    I’m trying to figure out how to delay the auto feeder so first the skimmer and return shut down for a few mins then the feeder kicks in, then after 5 or so everything turns back on.

    I have heard I need to do a virtual outlet or something but that’s as far as I can get.

    You do need to create a virtual outlet. I call mine V-Feed. Here are the relevant sections of my program. I use FeedA as a manual feed cycle and FeedB as a maintenance cycle.

    [AutoFeeder]
    Set OFF
    If Outlet V-Feed = ON then ON
    Defer 1:00 then ON

    [ReturnPump]
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    If Outlet V-Feed = ON then OFF

    [Skimmer]
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Outlet ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    If Power Apex OFF 001 Then OFF
    If Power EB6_1 OFF 001 Then OFF
    Defer 2:00 Then ON

    [V-Feed]
    Set OFF
    If Time 19:00 to 19:09 Then ON

    [WaveMaker]
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 001 Then OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
