Apex controlling skimmer when voltage is low is another outlet

[Jstone18]

Hello, I am considering getting an apex mainly to monitor and control heater. I am going to use a Vectra M1, and mp40 pumps. Seeing how I can’t have all of these on the same feed mode. Could I set the skimmer to shut off if there is no power being drawn from one of the mp40 outlets?
Thank you,

Assuming you have it plugged into an energy bar outlet Add

If Output OutletName Watts < X Then OFF

I wouldn’t actually be turning the outlet off. The mp40 would turn off resulting in no drawn power from that outlet

You can have as many items on a single feed mode as you want. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

The Vectra won’t work properly with the apex. So I will have to use the feed mode from the ecotech products. This is fine but the sump will rise causing the protein skimmer to overflow. So I want the skimmer to shut off when I put the pump in feed mode from the ecotech pump.

Then use the line I gave you in your skimmer code and replace outletname with the name of the outlet the vectra is plugged into instead of the typical If Output Return = OFF Then OFF that I normally recommend. Otherwise my typical recommended code can be used.
