Hi I’m trying to program my AFS to activate only Monday Wednesday and Friday’s when my virtual feed output is activated. I’m also trying to get it to activate when I press the feed D but it’s not activating. Anyone able to see if I’m putting the commands right? BA5EE555-AB25-48C8-B239-8B7BE6652220.png
 
It will depend partly on the vFeed schedule. Assuming that one activates each day, then use this code on the AFS. The sequence of the commands is critical, so place the FeedD after the DOW exception:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output vFeed = ON then ON
If DOW S-T-T-S Then OFF
If FeedD 000 Then ON
Defer 000:15 Then ON

If you only want vFeed to be active on those same days (like if it's also controlling powerheads or other devices besides the AFS) then move the If DOW command to the vFeed output itself.

Awesome! Thank you! I use VFeed every day activated by a button on BoB which turns off all my pumps But would only like the autofeeder to turn on M,W, F
 
And would be using the feed D if I am away and can’t activate the BoB manually

The Feed buttons can be activated from anywhere with Internet access by click them on the Fusion dashboard:
