Something that I would like to see added is a feed cancel command that will apply the delays that are specified in the outlet configuration. I have one of my feed cycles that I use when I am doing maintenance that turns off my skimmer and return pump. The skimmer is delayed by 4 minutes to allow the sump level to drop to the normal operating level and prevent the skimmer from overflowing. If I want to end the feed cycle early, I have to manually set the the skimmer off, cancel the feed cycle, wait for the water level to drop and then set the skimmer back to auto.

If there was a "delayed cancel" that ends the feed cycle like normal, applying the delays as though the cycle had ended on its own, that would be much easier-

I believe that is on the list for future release. However, there is a way to do this now using the Defer command.

[Skimmer]
Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
Defer 4:00 Then ON

This will delay the outlet for four minutes whenever it changes to ON.
