Turning on and off pump programs how doni

[adam j]

How do I program a pump to turn on and off eith the action of an other outlet. As certain outlets turn on I want the valve to turn on and turn off when out turns back off?

while i try to figure out the edit ill just add an other comment. so i have 7 valves that all turn on at different times through out a 24 hour period. how do i make it so that when the valves are on the water pump is on.. so basically there's 7 valves controlling a single pump?

How are the valves controlled? Are they on all the time or are they all independent? I Know this can be done , but we definitely need more details. Interesting... you have me intrigued!!

Valves are all independent

Valves are all independent

How are they controlled?

What do.you mean. There just 120v valve that turn on and off

What do.you mean. There just 120v valve that turn on and off

So are those connected to the Hydros WIFI Power strips??

Is the pump going to be on any other time other than for the 7 valves? I assume you are controlling the 7 valves with the hydros. Let me see what I can come up with. Labeling valves from 1 to 7, when do you want each valve to come on and for how long?

I got the valves timed already. Just need the pump done

That is ok, I like to recreate it on my system so I can check it out. I don't actually have to have a physical output assigned to check it out. Is each valve only turned on once in the day? I can set something up it does not have to be the same as what you have to test it.

 

[adam j]

No the valves will turn on twice aday for 2 mins

Yes

Ok, here is what I came up with. Below is a screenshot of the first output using the combiner type. The first input is valve 1. The second input is valve 2. The OR combiner mode is used. Neither are inverted.



Below is a screenshot of the first output using the combiner type. The first input is valve 3. The second input is valve 4. The OR combiner mode is used. Neither are inverted.



Below is a screenshot of the first output using the combiner type. The first input is valve 5. The second input is valve 6. The OR combiner mode is used. Neither are inverted.



Below is a screenshot of the first output using the combiner type. The first input is VLV 1-2 Combine. The second input is VLV 3-4 Combine. The OR combiner mode is used. Neither are inverted.



Below is a screenshot of the first output using the combiner type. The first input is VLV 5-6 Combine. The second input is valve 7. The OR combiner mode is used. Neither are inverted.



Below is the pump output. It uses the combiner type. Input one is VLV Combine 2. Input 2 is VLV Combine 3. The OR combiner mode is used. One this output you would set to the outlet with the pump connected.



Below is a screenshot of the valve 3 on. pump 1 output is also on via VLV 3-4 Combine and VLV Combine 2. The output names can be what ever you want. I just used these to test it. Hope this helps.

Thanks. That helps. Virtual outlet basically?

Yes, basically.
