Trying to program my skimmer outlet. This is what I have so far, remembering FeedA is to feed and FeedD is to clean.
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
If FeedD 005 Then OFF

Now I've just had to start from scratch again, had to reset my apex. So when I'm finished cleaning I want to hit cancel and my skimmer to wait 5 minutes before it comes back on. With the programing above its coming on as soon as I hit cancel. It worked before when I hit cancel it would wait then come on. What am I missing

I don't think that it's possible to have a delay when you hit cancel. Hitting cancel cancels the whole program that is running, including the delays. Are you sure you hit cancel before and didn't just wait for the mode to time out?

try the Defer statement its what I use and I believe it works even when canceling the feed modes.

Defer 002:00 Then ON

The correct is to set your feed interval to 5 min for what ever letter in this example we can use A. When you put it in feed mode it will exit in that amount of time. You can find that in the web interface under configuration>misc setup.

Set On
Fallback On
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON

\\ puts in feed mode for 5 min and then waits 5 minutes after an off state
