Profilux socket enabled with delay - simple but very needed

[smithpl]

Hi Mathias,
I sincerely request to add delay option to enable sockets 220v in powerbar.

I use several sockets on powerbar to enable or disable reactors or pumps.
One of them I'm using to enable/disable peristaltic pump which dosing water to Calcium reactor.
When level of Ca in aquarium is too high I have to disable pump for example 6-8 hours.

Now, I have to change socket status to "Always Off" and after 6-8 hours I have to remember to change socket status to "Always On"

It would be great If I could set socket status to "Always On" with additional option "start delay: 1-12h"

In this case I could set socket to "Always off" and again Always On with start delay about 6 hours.

Is it possible to add this simple function to next firmware version of Profilux 3ex ?

hi

it is not that simple as you might think (otherwise it would already be a function in our firmware)

I added it to our wish-list (which is already about 10" long), I can't promise

Matthias - you are the best , thank you :-)

I've though about use Programmable Logic option for it. Maybe this is solution?
If there could be able to use for example:
I can set G1:
Input: Always on
Time: 21600s ( 6h)
Function: Delay on

So, this PL I can assign to socket for example S7
When counter reaches a time 21600sec - G1 status is True and socket is going On.

but that's just my idea and I do not know if this is possible :-)

Thanks again Matthias, I'll be waiting for it :-)

PS: Matthias , where is a manual how to use Programmable logic?

thanks :-)

Now I know that my example is not good :-)
