APEX setting on/off several times throughout day?

[wjgeese]

I would like to hook up my Kalkreactor to my apex (specifically the stirring mechanism). I don't want it to run continuously and don't want it on/off just once a day. Is there a way to turn something on/off several times throughout the day?
thanks

The OSC command is made specifically to do this. See my tutorial on Apex Timers: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-2-timers.689/

thanks. I tried the following for my device: KALK_REACTOR
1. Fallback OFF
2. OSC 000:00/010:10/710:00 Then ON

Meaning, I want it to stir the kalk solution for 10min every 12 hours. It is not dependent on any other device being on or off.

When I go back to the apex control panel and select AUTO for the KALK_REACTOR device, it's status is listed as 'ON'; whereas it should be OFF until every 12 hrs.
Also, when I go back into the settings for KALK_REACTOR, it changes the code for line 2 to read Then OFF

I've tried this several times and it keeps resetting the code to 'off' rather than 'on'.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks
