AI + Vortech link question

hey guys id like to know how to set up a weather profile to link the vortech and the ai units together to interact together to create a storm effect. If i remeber correctly this is possible but i cant really figure out how to do it.
 
Hey reefjunkie,
I have mine setup to have a storm, its not to hard.

First I made a virtual outlet called Storm, I set a DoW and time statement for the virtual outlet to turn on.
I then went into the profile setup page and selected a Weather profile and set the parameters up. That profile is for your lights.
Now you just need to select what you want your Vortech's to do in the storm.

So now lets see if I can lay it out a bit more visually, to make it easier to understand (like I like it ha ha ha)

Storm:
Fallback OFF
If Time 11:00 to 15:00 Then ON
If DoW SM-W-FS Then OFF

Meaning I have a storm from 11 to 3 on Tuesday and Thursday, or at least my Storm outlet comes on, simple enough.
The weather profile is pretty easy to understand I named mine AI-Storm, you choose all your different parameters and thats good to go.

Now in each of your AI led outlets you need to tell the leds to switch to the storm profile if the storm outlet is on.
So an abbreviated version of the Led outlets is
AI-BluLED:
If Outlet Storm = On Then AI-Storm
and also
AI-White:
If Outlet Storm = On Then AI-Storm

Now that takes care of the lights, so now its time for the Vortechs.
Again in the profile setup you have to set up various profiles for the pumps.
I selected Reefcrest for my storm profile, so again an abbreviated pump profile I put this to change my pumps
On the Master Pump (assuming your using the a master and slave setup for the pumps):
If Outlet Storm = ON Then ReefCres
On the Slave pump:
If Outlet Storm = ON Then AntiSync

Both the ReefCres and AntiSync profiles have to be set up in the profile setup but are pretty easy to get set up.

I hope thats clear, if not let me know and I'll see if I can explain it better. Best of luck.
