Hi All,

I have chiller hooked up to apex and I use temp probe to turn it on/off. I want to plumb it into display and I don't see advance option where I can write code for turn off chiller when feeding or doing maintenance. Any tips?

I don’t have an apex but is there a way to write it so when return pump is off chiller is off. And when temp is below 78 chiller is off. ?

Fallback OFF
If Tmp > 79 Then ON
If Tmp < 78 Then OFF
If FeedA on then off
If output Feeder on then off
defer 00:005

Try that
Change "Feeder" to whatever you have named your feeder
and change the temps to what you want
Also, change the FeedA to whatever feed cycle you use

I understand the code but there is no place to enter it.

On the Output menu for that device select Advanced as the control type, and you should be able to directly enter code!

Thanks that worked. I guess I always though to use presets

Moving to the advanced menu is really the way to do many custom things with the Apex.
Although the Tasks are getting better and better. Still, I prefer looking at the actual code. :)
