Creating custom modes in menu

Post by tngo »

Hi All,

Is there a way that I would be able to create a selectable custom mode similar to the feeding and water changing modes? If say I wanted to create a mode to fill my salt mixing bucket with ro/di water, which would turn on/off a certain relay after a set time. Being able to select it in the menu allows me to initiate the mode at any time.

Thanks,
Tim

You can use it like Lee did.
Just use a virtual relay port to trigger the mode.
Add a second or third relay box, even though you don't physically have it and use the relays on that port to trigger the mode.

Thanks Roberto. Found the virtual relay topic on the forums.
