Hi,
When I loose power and when the power comes back, I am trying to defer the start of my return pump by a min, so I am using this piece of code

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
Defer 001:00 Then ON


Power monitor is Disabled on my Apex.

But whenever I loose power, the return does not start even after a minute. I need to go to Apex app and toggle on/off the Outlet and then the pump turns on. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe this will or won't help - What is the reason you want the delay? If you just let it restart - there is already a delay in the apex when the power comes on. But - your programming seems incorrect. Why is the fallback not 'on' - (i.e. you always want your pump to be on). Then the third statement - if the power is off then 'off' does not make sense to me (i.e. if the power is off - its already off). which makes the rest not make sense to me. Hope this helps - and I'm sure someone else will chime in.

You definitely want Fallback to be ON for the return pump in the event Apex loses communication with the Wi-Fi.

You can simply do,

Fallback ON
Set ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

With this code, anytime the state goes from OFF to ON, it should defer for 1 minute before actually turning ON. You can test this out by manually setting to OFF, then switching to AUTO. The pump shouldn't kick on until one minute has passed.
