    Now what I would like to have is my skimmer pump and ATO pump to delay starting by 10 minutes when maintenance has ended, but all remaining sockets to return to their normal state.
    x2 Is this possible?

    Use programmable logic

    G1: maintenance delayed

    Then use socket function g1 for the socket in question

    I'm trying to delay the skimmer for 5 minutes after every maintenance, after AWC and I have a skimmate locker switch that shuts the skimmer down when full.
    The following PL seems to work except the Skimmer shuts down and returns without the delay.

    Skimmer delay 5 minutes:
    G1 Input Filter X (Skimmer)
    Time 300s
    Function Delayed on

    Skimmer off during AWC:
    G2 Input 1 Water change [Inverted]
    Input 2 Progammable logic 1
    Function AND

    Skimmer off when skimmate locker is full:
    G3 Input 1 Digital input 1 (Pressure switch in locker)
    Input 2 Progammable logic 2
    Function AND

    PL 3 is the input for the skimmer socket.

    Is this correct? If I use "maintenace delay" on G1 I can't set it to all 4 or even 2 & 3 without using more gates. I think you can see what I'm trying to do, any suggestions?

    It does get confusing when stacking gates, didn't think it would be that hard to do what I want.
