Pumps to turn off 5 minutes before feed

[gafa]

How do I turn off Pumps 5 Minutes before feed they currently turn off when feeder starts but alot of food is going to sump socks

There are probably a few ways to do this, but I what I did was to schedule the power circuit to my auto feeder to turn off for most of the day, and only turn on about 5 minutes before the feeding time. Then I set the pumps I want to turn off to be dependent on the auto feeder device being powered on (Off if On). Then about 15 minutes after the feeder 'cycle' command, I set the power to the feeder to drop which re-enables the pump(s).

Hope this helps.

You can do the same by creating an output using the generic output type that uses a schedule to turn on at the time you want your pumps off. Then set the depends on in the pump output to that output and use off if on dependency mode.
