Fallback=?

[drtrash]

the standard default setting for skimmer outlet (wifi apex) fallback is off but i thought i heard this outlet is set from factory as on all the time. Enlighten me

Fallback= what you want the outlet to do if it loses communication with the controller. You would want dosers, bright lights, heaters and chillers to fallback to off. You might want your return pump to fallback to on to ensure some water flow.

Choose on or off based on which condition would cause issues if left uncontrolled. Your lights cranking for 5 days while you're in Tahiti would fry everything, but them being off for 5 days would leave you with some poor coloration and the need to acclimate them to lighting again.
