I’m sure this is a basic question for experienced Apex users, but I’m new to this and a little confused. To assign more than one Feed mode (A, B, C, D) to outlets controlling return pump (s), skimmer, ATO etc in Fusion, do I need to set up/program virtual outlets? For instance, currently I have Feed Mode A assigned to my return pumps and skimmer to shut off, then back on, for and after feeding, BUT, I also want to set up a maintenance mode using Feed D to essentially do they same but for longer... can’t figure out how to do it OTHER than going the virtual outlet route. Am I on the right track? Seems overly complicated... so I am second guessing.

Advice ?

You can go to the "Misc" button and set Feed Mode "D" for a longer interval. It’s the Gear Icon. Also make sure you save the change, and send it up to your Apex.

You would then put this code into any outlet (Skimmer, Return Pump Ect) you want to follow that feed mode.

If FeedD 000 Then OFF

After you change D to what you want click Cloud button and save:

Thank you! Very helpful. So I assume then, that more than one Feed Mode can be assigned to an outlet eg Feed A (feeding) AND Feed D (Maintenance) etc? ...

Yes of course :)
Also make sure your outlet switch is on Auto. Pretty sure you knew that :)
