Turn off output (I.e. multiple pumps managed through constant on/off power logic) when Feed Device active

[jeskenazi]

I just purchased the wired Hydros feeder. It's connected and working. I'm looking to create a logic dependency which will turn off outputs such as several pumps when the Hydros feeder is on.

Challenge...I'm already using a 0-10v toggle switch to shutoff pumps, so each of those pumps as an output dependency.

I think I need to create a combiner to bring together all the pumps and use that combiner as the output dependency, where the combiner is off/on from either the toggle switch is on or when the feeder is active. What I'm not seeing for figuring out is that the since the feeder is also an output, I'm not able to create the dependency.

Not sure if I explained this well, but hopefully someone's got an idea. I've also tried ChatGPT answers. They seems to get me where I'm thinking, but doesn't work.

I used a output that is triggered using the feeder output. I also set the minimum on time to 30 minutes. I called it Feed Mode and I use it to either turn off the output via the output's depends on or switch to the feed mode schedule using the schedules depends on. Set the feed mode schedule dependency mode to off if off so it will be on when the feed mode output is on. Also you will need to set the schedules start time to 00:00:00 and stop time to the same thing so it will be on regardless of when the feeding time happens. Then set all the other schedules to a dependency mode of off if on so they will be off when the feed mode output is on. Below is my Feed Mode output settings.
