You have this on an outlet that the pump is plugged into?

yes, it is on an eb8 outlet 8 and if i manually switch to off it turns off so that checks out

If you have that exact code, with the set off command, and the outlet is in Auto, then put a ticket into Neptune.

This is 2 minutes.
With the Apex, the time includes both numbers.
So it will be active from the start of 20:24, through the end of 20:25.

To get one minute there are a couple of ways.

First is to use the OSC command, but this will not work for 1 activation per day at the time you want.

The other is to create a virtual output.

[PumpOn1Min]
Set OFF
If Time 20:24 to 20:25 Then ON
Defer 000:59 Then ON

This output will only be ON at 20:25.

Then use this virtual outlet to turn the pump on.

If Output PumpOn1Min = ON Then ON
