Apex auto water change alarm and auto shut off.

[Hiatus]

I need a backup to shut off my auto water change pump when I accidentally leave the Apex mode switch on after refilling the barrel.

My pump script:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 18:30 to 20:00 Then ON

I would like to add something like:
When On > 001:30 Then OFF

And add to the alarms:
If AWC on>001:30 then on <-appears not to work.

Isn't the problem that when the switch is 'on' it overrides the programming?

Copied from a stick post here:

On the dashboard's output sliders, the ON and OFF positions are manual overrides. Programming for an output is only executed when the outlet slider is in AUTO. Many new Apex users have posted that their programming is not being followed, and it's often because the outlet was set to ON rather than AUTO.

It's bad practice to use manual ON or OFF as the normal condition; these positions should only be used on an as-needed, short-term basis. The proper way to do it is to program the outlet suitably and leave the outlet slider in AUTO.

For an outlet you want to be on 7/24, use Advanced control type and program it like this:

Fallback ON
Set ON

For an outlet which is unused, it should be programmed to be either on or off and the slider put in AUTO. I prefer to have unused outlets be off:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF"
