I have four MP10s, two on each side:

L2. R2
L1. R1

R2 controls the schedule. R1 is synced to R2. L2 is anti-synced to R2. L1 is synced to L2.

With that outlined, the pumps freak out if R2 is turned off before the others are.

The Vortechs are connected via the WXM.

How can I program it so if R2 is off, R1, L2, and L1 all turn off?

I’m thinking it will involve a virtual outlet but not 100% sure
 
Just add this line to the Advanced tab of each of ther other Vortechs:

If Output R2 = OFF Then OFF
