I find that the programing Logic of GHL is really annoying. Everything is so backwards. Also trying to have 1 switch do many different things is a real pain in the tush.
I find it would be easier to create a function first. For example lets say I want to do a water change.
So first create a function or task, then assign what switches will be affected. If needed set a time those switches are off and then back on. Then if you want a delay on.
Then you could set which pumps come on after a set amount of time to let the system stabilize before starting the AWC and shut off based on amount of fluid, sensor treading or time. Or assign each pump to a sensor that triggers the pump off or on.
I know for them to go back and "redesign things" would be tough for them.. But the logic of their programming is terrible as is.
As things are now. Say I want to shut off my skimmer and delay restart it for feeding, Maintenance, AWC.. and who knows what else. I have to create a bunch of Programable Logic steps.. 50% of which are utterly confusing to get right.
OK, sorry for the rant.. Just looking at the pile of gear I have to install and trying to set it all up right isn't going to be fun at all.
