Can anyone confirm my apex code is correct? I want to feed for 10 seconds twice a day from 8am to 4pm. I feel like I don't have it right and I want it to feed the same time everyday. Sorry, Im an Apex rookie

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/0:9.000000000000002/119:30 Then ON
If Time 16:01 to 8:00 Then OFF

Thanks man! Can you give me an option for once a day for the same 10 second feeding? I appreciate it so much, just trying to make decisions.

You can keep the same OSC command, and just change the OFF time on the third line to tell the feeder when to stay off.

The above OSC command line is telling the feeder to go on for 10 seconds at midnight, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, and 20:00 every day. If you change line 3 to only be off during the times you don’t want it to feed, then you can control which feedings it will turn on for.

This first one will feed at12:00 only
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:10/239:50 Then ON
If Time 13:00 to 11:00 Then OFF

This second one will feed at 4:00 only
Fallback OFF
