Neptune Q: Can you program outlets to turn on/off at set times

[ajremington68]

Want to set my bubble magus curve 5 skimmer that is plugged into my EB832 board to turn on for only 8-12 hours a day due to low nutrients even with dosing. Is this obtainable if so how? Thanks in advance!

Yes and very easy. Go onto fusion, name the outlet and set the on time and then off tine and go to upper right to orange cloud and click on it to save settings

I set almost all besides one not in use to be always on will I have to re-program it?

Also do you think it would be better to not run it during the day or night?

Skimmer, during the night is my preference

Alright thank you much!

@vetteguy53081 this how I configed the outlet. Is there a different one I should do to make it on and off set times?

If you set the outlet control as a light it should give you the option to set a time to turn on and off. You can also program the outlet with advanced programming and set it something similar to this

Look good? It’s still on the skimmer config tho so I don’t know if it’ll work but I guess we will have to see

Looks good to me. It will run between 11pm and 7am and turn off if your return pump is off. The defer statement just means that it won’t change its state to on for 5 minutes, essentially just giving time for your return pump to get the sump level back to where it should be before the skimmer turns back on.

Thanks for the help bud

Also probably not a big deal but the defer statement should also delay it from turning on until 11:05. It’s easy to fix by bumping the turn on time back 5 minutes if it matters.
I just figure it was worth mentioning in case you were watching it at exactly 11 one day and wondering why it wasn’t on.
