I have an autofeed virtual switch that sets my return pump to 5 percent power.
This works great but it raises my water in my sump and sets off email alarms based off of some float switches.

How can I have my alarms disabled during the 10 minute autofeed cycle.
The autofeed function is setup as a virtual outlet

this is my alarm setting now. I tried to add the 2nd line but it did not work

(Alarm)
Set OFF
If Output AutoFeedVirt = ON Then OFF
If Output Ret_Water_Hi = ON Then ON
If Output Ret_Water_Lo = ON Then ON
If Output ATO_Water_Lo = ON Then ON
If Output Sock_Watr_Hi = ON Then ON
If Output Ret_Pump_OFF = ON Then ON
If Error Cor_5_1 Then ON
If Power Apex Off 005 Then ON
Defer 002:00 Then ON

virtual Feed
Set OFF
If Sw2 CLOSED Then ON
If Time 12:58 to 13:08 Then ON
Defer 002:00 Then OFF

put the alarm off closer to the bottom. The way apex works is that it takes your commands in order setting the result as a boolean (True False / On Off) binary answer. As such, the further down the code base it is..the higher the precedent it will be as it will override previous ons.
