Or would this be better:
At 11:02am on 25sec, and at 20:02 on for 25sec. There's reason I want the delay.

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:25/539:35 Then ON
If Time 20:00 to 11:00 Then OFF
Defer 0002:00 Then ON

I'd like to run a salt mix pump 5 minutes every hour. Is this the correct code?

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/005:00/055:00 Then ON

If I have this right the first time 000:00 is when it begins = midnight.
second time = run time.
third time = off time.
repeats indefinitely.

Thanks in advance.

Following. Is there any way to do a second "on" command with the OSC? My scenario is I have a DIY Kalk reactor with a magnetic stirrer. I currently run it for one minute every three hours with OSC command (OSC 000:00/001:00/179:00). When my PH starts to drop and I add my weekly 1/4 cup of Kalk, it will tend to settle and stop my pill from stirring. What I want to do is basically pulse it for 5 seconds about a minute after stirring as to not let the Kalk gum up my stirring pill as it settles.
Looking toward this great community for thoughts. TIA!

Code check -
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/001:00/59:00 Then ON

My goal is to have this outlet on one minute per every hour per every day.

When you will first program the outlet, will it wait until midnight to first run?

No, the 1st set of numbers just describe when the sequence is supposed to start. Particularly when it should synchronize within the given parameters.

Since your 2nd and 3rd numbers add up to 60 minutes, then it will occur at the same time every hour starting from midnight.

If you save that code at 0830 it will not wait until 000:00 rolls around to begin. It will simply calculate from 000:00 to determine when the next on/off sequence will occur.
