Help COR 15 Vfeed programming not running as I would like

[I.AM.MR.MIKE]

I want my COR15 to go to 1% during an AFS feed mode which it is doing. What it isn't doing is deferring or staying at 1% after Vfeed is OFF. I have searched and read every post I can find for an answer.

I have watched videos with Terrence and "The other guy" till I want to bang my head against a wall lol

Here is my code when I click on basic view under my COR pump:

Fallback ON
tdata 00:00:00,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 23:59:00,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
If Output Vfeed = ON Then 1
Defer 008:00 Then ON

Here is the code when I click the gear and go to advanced:

If Output Vfeed = ON Then 1
Defer 008:00 Then ON

Vfeed code:

Set OFF
If Time 08:30 to 08:33 Then ON
If Time 14:30 to 14:33 Then ON
If Time 20:30 to 20:33 Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then ON

There are two choices on how to do this:

1. Simply increase the length of time that vFeed remains On. But I don't know what other devices you're controlling with vFeed, so if you only want the COR to remain at 1% longer while other devices turn back on, then this won't work.

2. You can create a new virtual output that acts as a timer, then control the COR with this output instead of vFeed itself:

[COR_Feed]
Set OFF
If Vfeed = ON Then ON
Defer 008:00 Then OFF

Then just change the code on your COR to look at this new output:

Fallback ON
tdata 00:00:00,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 23:59:00,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
If Output COR_Feed = ON Then 1

Thank you ! I will try one of these, probably VO COR feed. For my own curiosity why does the DEFER 8 minutes not make it DEFER then go to schedule? Seems so simple.

When you set the COR to 1%, that is not actually OFF, and Defer only applies when transitioning from ON to OFF, or from OFF to ON. You COR is ON at both 100% and 1%, so that transition never took place, so the Defer doesn't kick in.

Ohhhhh OK Thank You!

Just for future viewers I believe #SuncrestReef meant for this to read:
[COR_Feed]
Set OFF
If Output Vfeed = ON Then ON
Defer 008:00 Then OFF
