Program apex to run for certain time then off.

Float switch on roller mat. 

Want it to turn motor on, run for 3 seconds, then turn off.

i want it to stay off until the float switch opens and then eventually closes again.

I’m not 100% sure of this code (I had my 2nd vaccine shot today and it’s kicking my butt, so my mind is a little cloudy).  But I think this will require a couple of virtual outputs to act as timers:

[Roller]
Set OFF
If Float CLOSED Then ON
If Output Roller_Timer = ON Then OFF

[Roller_Timer] — virtual output
If Output Roller = ON Then ON
If Output Float_Reset = OFF Then OFF
Defer 000:03 Then ON

[Float_Reset]  — virtual output 
Set ON
If Float OPEN Then OFF

(Replace “Float” with the actual name of your float switch)

After 12 hours of sleep and putting more thought into this, I think it can be simplified:

[Roller]
Set OFF
If Float CLOSED Then ON
If Output Roller_Timer = ON Then OFF

[Roller_Timer] — virtual output
If Output Roller = ON Then ON
If Float OPEN Then OFF
Defer 000:03 Then ON

(Replace “Float” with the actual name of your float switch)

Much thanks.  The reset or "arming" of the float switch was really the crux.  

Did you get the moderna shot? I get my second on monday, i know of several people that said it was a but kicker. 

Thanks again!

I got Pfizer.  It's been about 18 hours since my shot and I feel fine now.  But last night was rough.
