I have my skimmer in my small AIO... is it possible to have the Apex EL controller turn the skimmer off if temps exceed 80 degrees. no need to have another motor adding heat when the temp is already rising.

Set the output’s Control Type to Advanced, then add this line of code to the end of the program:

If Temp > 80.0 Then OFF

The Control Types are just shortcuts that create the programming for you, but aren't necessary if you know the programming code. See my tutorial on Apex Control Types to see what programming is created by each Control Type:

I I get that, but just knowing the "shortcut" was intended for a heater would bug me in the back of my mind. ik how stupid that sounds but still. Thank you though I will check this out!
