So I've started to experiment with with controlling simple things on my tank with some wifi outlets from wyze. I have my lighting (Metal halide and t5) schedule set through the plugs. Return pump and skimmer are both on wifi outlets. I've even been able to set up "if then" statements such as "if return pump off, then skimmer off" and "if return pump turns on and runs for 20 min, then skimmer on"
One thing I can't figure out is how can I set up a feed mode. I want to turn the return pump off and have it return on 30min later, but what I'm running into is when I go to do maintenance (water change) the pump is turning back on after 30 min. I'm thinking I might have to set up feed mode running through a powerhead. Something like powerhead 1 off -> return off, skimmer off -> if powerhead 1 off for 30 min then return pump on.
Any ideas?
