Neptune Apex OSC Check

[Christopher Poore]

Looking for feedback on the following commands to ensure I've set them up accurately. The goal is to have my skimmer turn on for 6 hours at 0:00 (midnight), then off for 6 hours, in a continuous pattern.

Question: does the "FeedA" statement impact the repetitiveness of the cycle? IE if I use Feed A once today, will my "on" OSC command be pushed back to 0:30?

Fallback OFF
OSC 0:00/360:00/360:00 Then ON
Set ON
If Output Vectra_R4 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 030:00 Then ON
If FeedA 030 Then OFF

I do believe the way the code stack is written, the feed or defer command will not disrupt the timing of the OSC command.

I think you need to remove Set ON or it may over ride the OCS command.

Last command wins, so remove or move set on above osc

Fallback OFF
Set ON
OSC 000:00/360:00/360:00 Then ON
If Output Vectra_R4 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 030:00 Then ON
If FeedA 030 Then OFF

?

looks good.
I have my skimmer to Fallback/default ON.
personal choice i guess.

Will this time related command work better?

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Time 6:00 to 12:00 Then OFF
If Time 18:00 to 24:00 Then OFF
If Output Vectra_R4 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 030:00 Then ON
If FeedA 030 Then OFF

Thoughts on simplifying the OSC command with a Time command?

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Time 6:00 to 12:00 Then OFF
If Time 18:00 to 24:00 Then OFF
If Output Vectra_R4 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 030:00 Then ON
If FeedA 030 Then OFF

doesnt matter.
unless you decide 3 hours on then 3 hours off, or 1 hour etc. then the osc is your pal.
I tried cycling the skimmer, but i think it wants to run continuously to not dry out the throat.
