Apex Delay Help

[EricTMah]

Hey Apex Gurus

I am trying to program a delay if power is cut to either the main Apex or just my EB8

I've tried both these lines of code and no delay:

If Power Apex OFF 001 Then on
If Power EB8_3 OFF 001 Then on

Both seem to be accepted by the apex, but do not delay!

The two lines prior to the above are:
1-Fallback on
2-Set on

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks

Hey, Eric - when did you get the Apex?

 

[EricTMah]

A few months ago. But all software is up to date on all my modules.

There should be a sleep function or you require a counter or call function to the clock and then loop until time has past.
Quick search seems you do this

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Outlet Leak_detect = ON Then OFF
If Outlet ATO_ON = ON Then OFF
If Outlet Return = OFF Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedD 000 Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON ---- looks like a defer command and 5 minute delay?

What are you trying to delay? Your skimmer? If a skimmer then I would use a defer command

public static sleep(Long milliSeconds)
{
Long timeDiff = 0;
DateTime firstTime = System.now();
do
{
timeDiff = System.now().getTime() - firstTime.getTime();
}
while(timeDiff <= milliSeconds);
}


Sleep function using system time, Man the old programming memories....

It is stupid Apex logic, switch the last word to OFF

If Power Apex OFF 001 Then OFF
If Power EB8_3 OFF 001 Then OFF

Here is my skimmer code.

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Outlet RtnPump = OFF Then OFF
If Power Apex Off 005 Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON

Also, make sure that the Power Monitor feature is turned off. System->Misc setup area using the Apex display menu.
