Trigger DOS AWC with switch

[glassboxkeeper]

I have a Neptune DOS I'm currently using to do automatic daily water changes. I'd like to add a switch using the breakout box to trigger an "emergency" water change. Hit the switch, tank gets new water.

I was able to trigger this by adding the following code to the DOS, but it slowly drips instead of the blazing fast whir I get with the water change task.
If Sw4 OPEN Then ON
Defer 060:00 Then OFF

Is there any way to trigger the AWC task with a switch? Or maybe speed up the DOS when operating the above code?

Use the task to have Apex write the code for you.

Thanks vhuang168, unfortunately the manual water change task doesn't show up as an option for me, maybe it's only available on the newer Apex? I'm running the Apex Classic and recently updated with AOS version 4.53_AB17, the DOS module was also recently updated.

That task won't show up on a classic because it needs to create virtual outlets to do it.

Create a profile that will get the desired amount of water at 250ml/min. The per dose amount is 1000ml per interval maximum so you will need to set multiple intervals to get the desired amount. Set the time between intervals as low as it will let you (I think its 12 min). Then calculate the amount of time it will take to deliver this amount.

Create a VO with this code where XX is the calculated time.

Set ON
When On > XXX:XX Then OFF

In the DOS add

If Output VOname = ON Then Profilename


To trigger, set the VO to AUTO and it will automatically shut to manual OFF when its delivered the amount.

Thanks zombie, this worked for me.

Water changes have never been easier
