1 my return pump is not apex controlled.
2 there is a flow sensor in line with the return pump and connected to the Apex
2 my skimmer is connected to an apex outlet

To prevent the skimmer from overflowing I would like Apex to turn the skimmer off when the flow is low or 0 (because the sump level rises. Once the flow returns the sump will go to normal level in a few minutes. after a delay I want the skimmer to restart automatically

I have been working with Apex support and came up with this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fallback OFF

Set ON (sets skimmer on)

IF GPH <200 then off (turns off the skimmer if flow less than 200 gph)

Defer 05:00 then on (waits 5 minutes from when flow returns)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
will this work if put into outlet the skimmer is attached to?

Yes, your code is correct, assuming "GPH" is the name of your flow sensor input.
