Hi,
Any suggestions on apex command for skimmer neck cleaner if I want it to run 3 times a day for 20 sec each time? Do u set it to run every few hours or just allocate fix running times in apex? Appreciate any command u have I can just edit and copy in.
Thanks
 
Fallback OFF
If Time 10:00:00 to 10:00:20 then on
If Time 18:00:00 to 18:00:20 then on
If Time 00:00:00 to 00:00:20 then on
 
I like the oscillate code for neck cleaners.

OSC 000:00/000:20/479:40 Then ON

starting time/on duration in min:sec/off duration
 
Thanks for the help.

Controller seems to stay On with this. I added Set Off And it also stays on all time?
Any suggestions?
 
Surprisingly you are right. I tried that on and outlet stay on all the time. I guess then are 2 things.
1. You can use the commands I gave you only difference is apex fusion don't see second anymore so you will need to keep it on for 1 min each time which might be too much.
2. Use the OSC command like someone posted that will work too.
 
yeah I also use oscillate

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:30/300:00 Then ON

So essentially, start at midnight, run for 30 seconds and then wait for 5 hours.
 
Fwiw I run mine with an OSC for 15 seconds a day and that's all the aqua driver needs. If it we slower perhaps a longer run but either way once a day seems plenty.
 
OSC command it is and it works :)
Thanks
