reefkeeper lite multi-timer to control two wavepumps

[jld]

so i want to control 2 different wave pumps on a random amount of on and off time for a set amount of time? i dont think it is possible...

pumps on multi-timer option
if i set up a timer for a each pump with example:
on time 10:00am
other pump/timer on at 10:30am
timer 1 on for hour off hour
repeat 11 (turns off at 10pm and 10:30pm if not set to random)
oscillate=off
random=on (uses on and off time as maximum value)

so on random it in theory could cycle 11times really fast then does nothing till next day. even if i add timer 2 to each pump this really wont help. can timers cross each other? only thing i can think of is set amounts of time (turn off random)

am i missing something?

Is your firmware updated?

Can't you set them with A/B wavemaker cycles?

firmware new. a and b isn’t the same as a random on/off and length on 2 different pumps.

Kill the repeat and use oscillate and see if that works. The only problem with that is on startup both pumps would start at the same time. That may make them track the same if they have the same porgramming. You might need to change the on and off times on one pump to get them to eventually become random.
