Plank automatic feeder and apex code problem

[Fishcrisp]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to program my Avast Plank feeder through my Apex. It’s connected to EnergyBar 832 Outlet 7.
I want it to run for 45 seconds at:
9:00 AM
1:00 PM
5:00 PM
So there are exactly 4 hours between feedings.
I tried:

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/00:45/239:15 then OFF
If Time 17:01 to 08:59 Then OFF

but it didn't work as intended. What would be the correct Apex code/setup to accomplish this?

Hi,
Your coding is telling it to go on every four hours starting at midnight (000:00)

This one is telling it to go on every four hours from 1 AM, (060:00), so it will go on at your 9, 1 and 5:00 times.

Fallback OFF
OSC 060:00/000:45/179:15 Then ON
If Time 17:01 to 08:59 Then OFF

The 60 minutes, plus 45 seconds plus 179:15 minutes equals 4 hrs, but that initial 060:00 is instructing that the every 4 hours begins at 1 AM

Thank you will try it. What does the 060 do.

Thank you will try it. What does the 060 do.

The first set of numbers 060:00 is telling the apex to start your programming 60 minutes after the default, which is midnight. (000:00)

Copy and paste works fine in fusion. Is there a particular schedule that you are trying to set up for the feeder that I can help you with?

Same schedule your running works perfect for me as well
