My desired behavior:

I want a half hour feeding (which I call "AutoFeed") with the following characteristics:

1) Under normal circumstances, AutoFeed is triggered at a specific time of the day (7PM)
2) At times, I want to initiate AutoFeed manually via my fusion dashboard by turning it on at a time other than 7PM
3) During AutoFeed:
a) The return pump should always be off
b) I want the powerheads to oscillate: 15 seconds on, 5 minutes off
I have 2 Neptune WAV powerheads. I have everything working except the powerhead oscillation. Here is my current code:

Virtual Outlet "Autofeed"
Set OFF
If Time 19:00 to 19:30 Then ON

Output for mu return pump
Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
If Outlet AutoFeed = ON Then OFF
If Outlet Maintenance = ON Then OFF
If Outlet DT_TMP_VHIGH = ON Then OFF

My Neptune WAV advanced configuration is:
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
If Outlet AutoFeed = ON Then OFF

The rest of the WAV behavior is controlled through the Fusion graphical interface.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance,
John

Where do you connect the Wav' 24V DC adapter to? To an EB8 outlet and the code below is for that outlet?

ngvu1, My WAVs are not connected to an EB8. They are plugged into a standard receptacle. The Apex Fusion software recognizes them and I control them through Fusion. The Fusion interface has a configuration button. The configuration presents a basic tab and an advanced tab. The code I posted is under the advanced tab.
