I followed the mod

https://www.swfmas.com/forum/index....0yzyv9SUldRx003ZvspyATdXyfJuJ7zplWsJxpNY_ovRc
and setup one of my ehiems. Works perfectly.

I've setup one timer to feed during the day at intervals using the "Short" switch mode on a timer, and I have the socket reacting to that timer for now (I'll add more feeds later - 6:29pm happened to be the time I was testing)

How do I setup another timer to react to the feed mode button (I only need to switch the socket on for 1 second)?

Then the last piece of the puzzle will be to combine the 2 timers into 1 (either timer or Programable Logic) with an OR function.

OUTPUT should be the feeder feeds to tank according to timer 1 OR if the feed button is pressed.

Thanks in advance.
 
You would set up advance program logic with your timer and the other being the filter 1 which would be the first timer.

Example of advance program logic:

Thanks Ditto.

So Filter = Feedmode (and the relevant index).

But how do I set the switch socket to only activate for 1 second and then turn off? So the feed mode acts more as a "trigger" than a timer?
