I finally decided to hook up an EB8 I picked up months ago. I'm usually OK with APEX programming...but it admittedly takes me a bit of research, trial, and error to get things right. Figured I'd just ask for help since the incoming programming headache is part of why I've been procrastinating on this project for months.
I'd like my UV filter to run 24/7 with a couple exceptions. I'd like it to shut off for 12hrs if the temperature in the tank reaches 82.0 degrees, and I'd like it to automatically shut off when I turn off my return pump.
So for the UV...
Fallback ON
Set ON
IF Temp >82.0 Then OFF
Defer 720:00 Then ON
IF Outlet **??** = OFF Then OFF
Not sure what to use for the outlet name for the return pump. I had renamed the outlet as "Return" and tried that as the outlet name in the program...but when I manually shut the return off the UV stays on so apparently that's not correct? I didn't get an error when I saved the program so I'm not sure what's up. Tried - IF Outlet base_Out1 = OFF Then OFF and got an error saying there wasn't an outlet with that name...I thought maybe the default name was what I needed. Anyway...what's the solution? Also...will the exception that shuts the outlet off for 12 hrs also trigger anytime I manually shut off the return pump? It's no big deal since that's something I do maybe once every 3 months...but just wanted to know in advance.
