can anyone help me with the code to run my skimmer from 12 at night to 12 in the afternoon. Then off until 12 at night.

Should do it... but make sure you add feedings and such.

As a tip, you can always select light as the control type, change the times on and off to what you want, then change the control type again to advanced and it will show you the code. Just go back to dashboard instead of saving the config. You can do this with any control type.
 
Just adjust your times. I have mine set to fall back as off as a safe guard as it’s checked daily so if it’s off I know there’s a issue.

Your skimmer chamber seems like it fluctuates water levels dependent on your return pump.
I added a bit more code to control my skimmer on/off if water level fluctuates.
In case your looking for more ideas to prevent wet skimming for power outages or feed modes.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 00:00 to 12:00 Then ON
If FeedA Then OFF
If Output Cor20 OFF Then OFF
If pH < 7.80 Then ON
If pH > 8.30 Then OFF
 
If Output Cor20 OFF Then OFF
If you manually turn off the return pump switch it will automatically turn the skimmer off.

Defer 001:30 then ON
When the power comes back on from either unplugging the apex or a power failure wait 1 minute 30 seconds for the return pump to startup and lower the sump water level back to its normal running height before the skimmer turns back on.

Without the Defer you'll still have a small amount of wet skimming while the return pump gets the water level back to normal operating height.
 
My code isn't working :( Any help is appreciated! Trying to make sure my skimmer shuts off when my return is off.

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Output Return = OFF Then OFF
Defer 003:00 Then ON
