Time code

[Rick Strauss]

Getting a little frustrated lol. How do I turn something on for 50 seconds twice a day.

 

[Shirak]

Are you looking for 12 hour time inbetween?

 

[Rick Strauss]

I was thinking 6 hours

 

[Rick Strauss]

Say 12:00 and 18:00

 

[Shirak]

OSC 000:00/000:15/239:45 Then ON

my doser going off for 15 seconds every 4 hours

If you want 50 seconds every 12

starting at midnight 000:00/50/719:10

 

[Rick Strauss]

Thank you I’ll try that

 

[Shirak]

hmm that would be a bit more complicated because of the unequal time between the 2nd on and the next noon on the following day.

The easiest way is combining If Time with Defer:

Set OFF
If Time 12:00 to 12:01 Then ON
If Time 18:00 to 18:01 Then ON
Defer 001:10 Then ON

See my tutorial on Apex Timers for details on If Time and Defer: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-2-timers.689/

oops every 4 hours on my doser not 6.. 240minutes

It’s for a food pump so I would need it on 2 times a day then of for 18 hours
