To do a water change, I have Feed Mode C on my Apex set to turn everything off allowing several gallons of tear to siphon down to the sump. After the water change I use Feed Mode D to ramp up the return pump slowly so I don't get as much splashing while the display fills back up.
I'd like to do this using buttons connected to my breakout box. I have a some momentary buttons on the front of my cabinets. Since Apex doesn't allow feed modes to be triggered by anything else I programmed a virtual outlet as such:
Outlet vFeedC
Set OFF
If Btn1 CLOSED Then ON
Defer 030:00 Then OFF
My return pump then has the following line:
If Output vFeedC = ON Then 0
So far, so good. The problem is how to get it to cancel when I use Feed Mode D (or another button.) The 'Defer...Then OFF' statement works well to 'latch' the virtual outlet on with he momentary button, but there's no way to deactivate it without digging through the outlets and turning the outlet off manually.
What I'd like is for the virtual outlet to remain on until another event triggers it to cancel. is that possible?
