I picked up an Apex PMUP and a 4 inch Liquid Level sensor to make a basic ATO.

I have got the basic programming to work with this...

Fallback OFF
If SMPLVL < 2.5 Then ON
If SMPLVL > 2.8 Then OFF

Now I'm thinking I want to add some smarts into the programming.
I likely home at 8pm every night so I figure if I set the programming to only activate during 8pm to 8:05pm I would be home in case something doesn't work as intended...

How would I incorporate a timer into the first IF statement with an AND variable?
I was thinking something like this but I don't recall seeing AND variables in the reference guide...

If SMPLVL < 2.5 AND Time 20:00 to 20:05 Then ON

I figure if I limit the time it can potential run to 5 minutes a day I wouldn't need any Defer statement...
