Quick question regarding Defer statement

[brooke71]

This should be quick....
I would like to know if the following command will work for my skimmer. I am trying to wait 2 minutes after my feed cycles are done and pump is back on for 2 minutes before my skimmer kicks back on, does this accomplish what I am trying to do?
Many thanks in advance....

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Outlet AutoFeed = OFF Then OFF*
Defer 002:00 Then ON

Here is my Virtual Outlet AutoFeed command, I have it set for 2 times as you can see.
Set ON
If Time 09:50 to 10:15 Then OFF
If Time 14:50 to 15:15 Then OFF

Yes, that will work. It will apply to any condition that attempts to turn the outlet ON. For instance, if you set it to Manual OFF, then back to Auto. The Defer would apply there as well and delay it turning back ON.

Curious as to why you have the AutoFeed outlet set to ON all the time and then shut it OFF at the designated times. Seems backward.

Here is what I have been using with my skimmer. It shuts down the skimmer anytime that my return pump shuts down and has a defer of 5 minutes.

Set ON
Fallback ON
If Outlet Return_Pump = OFF Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If Temp > 82.0 Then OFF

Thanks Todd for the reply. Seemed a little weird to me as well however that is the way I found it in the New User Guide (Page 99).
I appreciate the quick reply.

No problem, as long as it works. I use the convention of ON = TRUE, OFF = FALSE. And I name my outlets accordingly. Sometimes trips me up when I encounter something different.
