This is for my skimmer I use the feed command to turn off my pumps, Skimmer and so on
Just put this into your configure page and save you can input the same into anything else you want to turn off as well
Below is my skimmer

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Outlet ReturnPu3_2 = OFF Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedC 030 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
Defer 010:00 Then ON


Below is my pump commands telling it how long to keep off when I press the corresponding feed command

Fallback ON
Set ON
OSC 000:00/005:00/000:00 Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedC 030 Then OFF
If FeedD 120 Then OFF

Remove the OSC programming highlighted in Red (above) if you are wanting that pump to be on all the time except when you initiate a feed mode.

Easiest way to write the program to have the skimmer shut off when the return shuts off is this.

"If outlet (put your return outlet name here) = off then off"

You put that in your skimmer outlet programming.
