Apex Seasonal Chart and programming daytime flushing cycles.

[Breadman03]

I’ve set up a flush cycle on an OSC code to run for 7 minutes, then off for 86 minutes. I’m looking to make it “random” and only during my lighting cycle. How can I set the waveTimVO to be off only when all of my lights are off, which is tied to the seasonal chart? I know the “If Sun 360/360 Then Off” line is keeping it off during lighting hours. I tossed it in there as I’m setting it up. Between fixing a transmission, fixing a wrecked car, a clogged sewer line, and full time work, my brain is just too shot to figure this one out right now!

Maybe the easiest thing to do is set up another VO with Sunrise and Sunset that matches the XHO’s, but stays on while the halides are on.

Thanks for any assistance.

My halide code:
Set OFF
If Sun 420/-060 Then ON
If Temp1 > RT+1.5 Then OFF
Min Time 012:00 Then OFF

XHO code:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sun 240/120 Then ON
If Sun 425/-062 Then OFF
If Temp1 > RT+2.0 Then OFF

Pump code:
If Output TunzeTimVO = ON Then PF4-Surges
If Output TunzeTimVO = OFF Then PF3-RampDn
If Output WaveTimVO = ON Then PF9-Waves
If FeedA 000 Then PF5-Calm1

WaveTimVO code:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/007:00/086:00 Then ON
If Sun 360/360 Then OFF

You need another VO

SunUp
Set OFF
If Sun 420/-060 Then ON

WaveTimVO code:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/007:00/086:00 Then ON
If Output SunUp = ON Then OFF

Thank you
I ended up getting a similar VO set up last night after I finally got my plumbing fixed. Sometimes a Sawsall is the answer to clogged cast iron...

Anyhow, here's the code I went with:

SolarTimVO:
Set OFF
If Sun 240/120 Then ON

WavTimVO:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/007:00/086:00 Then ON
If Output SolarTim = OFF Then OFF

It seems to be functioning correctly at this point. I'll probably use it for some other flow patterns at some point, and maybe when I add in a pair of Radions in the near future. I love the halides, but I'm looking to moderate heat a bit while keeping PAR and DLI under control. Oh, and the flexibility of Radions means that I can hit a VO for color and extend lower light viewing time without the heavy blue of the XHO's.
