Am i correct in thinking that the Apex time command cannot span midnight, so the following would not be valid:
If Time 22:00 to 07:00 Then OFF
and instead you would need to use two separate lines, e.g.
If Time 22:00 to 23:59 Then OFF
If Time 00:00 to 07:00 Then OFF


Also, bonus question, does the OSC command always calculate a starting point from midnight?
 
Is it possible to reverse your command? Instead of IF 22:00 to 07:00 THEN OFF, try IF 07:00 to 22:00 then ON. It gets rid
Of your problem in a single line
 
You can span midnight. I do it with my ATS lights. OSC starts from midnight, yes.

Unfortunately not, there are several other commands that become difficult this way around.
 
Will test again. Something i've noticed which I think confused my initial test, my Apex system time is off at the moment. Seems Neptune have hard-coded daylight savings to those of US dates which leaves three weeks in March where my timers are off! Bizarre decision from a programming point of view!
 
Yes, If Time can span midnight:

Set OFF
If Time 18:00 to 08:00 Then ON
