Aquarium - Turn off switches to feed your fish for a certain amount of time, then turn back on. Script

TheRealFalseReality · August 8, 2023, 4:07am

This script is intended to act as a feeding routine for your aquarium fish. You can choose multiple switches to turn off, such as return pumps, wave makers, skimmers, etc., and set the amount of time for feeding, typically 10 mins. The script will turn off the switch(es) for the set time, then turn the them back on automatically.

Changes:
v1.1 - Added Conditions and extra actions. Changed delay time to duration selector.

Wow, it’s like you have seen my exact fish feeding automation system somewhere. I do exactly all of that right now for my feeding automation.

We aquarists all have similar techniques, but I wanted to make something more streamlined and share it. I got the idea of the DC water pumps and wave maker feed button, that shuts them off for 10 minutes. But I got tired of having to do that for each device, so I made this that just shuts them off with a simple script.
