    Feed Mode set for certain time of day

    I want to use the feed mode while my Eheim feeder runs. From reading a previous post it was suggested to set up a virtual outlet to have the feed mode come on at a certain time of day. Assuming I want my feeder to come on at 8:45 am and have the feed mode turn on at the same time will this program work? Is the last statement necessary?

    Set OFF
    Fallback OFF
    If Time 08:45 to 08:50 Then ON
    If Outlet vFeed_15_6 = ON Then FeedA On
    If Outlet vFeed_15_6 = OFF Then FeedA Off

    Feed modes are manual only and cannot be triggered through code. You do have to use a virtual outlet, but that is what turns off not the feed mode itself. Just set the times to when the eheim runs and add an if outlet statement to turn off devices.
