Eheim autofeeder with apex

[smilodon]

how to program the apex to work with Eheim autofeeder.
I just want to start Feed mode at specific time.
Can I do that with apex?

For example, I set Eheim autofeeder start feeding at 10:00AM,
can I program Apex to start feed mode at 9:59AM,
and then finish feed mode at 10:20AM automatically?

Is there any program like that:

<Virtual outlet:>
If Time 09:59 to 10:20 Then FeedA

I think the Eheim feeder only runs on battery so I don't know how you can use Apex to control it?

 

[smilodon]

I didn't want to control the autofeeder,
just want apex to cooperate with the autofeeder.

Bascially, I just want the feed mode on and off at specific time automatically.

The feed mode always after IF clause, can I put feed mode after THEN clause, like that:
If Time 09:59 to 10:20 Then FeedA

 

[smilodon]

I just tried, seems feed mode cannot place after THEN clause.

So the onlyway is to creat virtual outlet,
and then set up time windows.

I cannot use Feed mode pre-set by the Apex cooperater with Eheim autofeeder,
I have to build my own feed mode by using virtual outlet.

i did roughly the same for my other tank. since i have one piece of equipment to control during feeding, i just programmed the times to correspond with the feeding schedule. the clock on the feeder may drift off by a minute so allow ample time for the pumps to turn off prior to scheduled feeding. i also added in a feed c to the program so i can feed manually if needed.
