ON/OFF time programming for sprinklers

**Synergetic** · 06-19-2017

I recently bought a neptune EB8 for my FW aquaponics setup, and love it so far. I hooked a water pump up to a customer sprinkler/misting system for my plants, but cant get it to turn on! My goal is to have the sprinkler EB8 outlet run ON for one minute, then turn OFF for 59 minutes, and repeat. This is what I have so far-

Fallback OFF
If Time 00:58 to 00:59 Then ON
If Time 01:58 to 01:59 Then ON
If Time 02:58 to 02:59 Then ON
If Time 03:58 to 03:59 Then ON
If Time 04:58 to 04:59 Then ON
If Time 05:58 to 05:59 Then ON
If Time 06:58 to 06:59 Then ON
If Time 07:58 to 07:59 Then ON
If Time 08:58 to 08:59 Then ON
If Time 09:58 to 09:59 Then ON
If Time 10:58 to 10:59 Then ON
If Time 11:58 to 11:59 Then ON
If Time 12:58 to 12:59 Then ON
If Time 13:58 to 13:59 Then ON
If Time 14:58 to 14:59 Then ON
If Time 15:58 to 15:59 Then ON
If Time 16:58 to 16:59 Then ON
If Time 17:58 to 17:59 Then ON
If Time 18:58 to 18:59 Then ON
If Time 19:58 to 19:59 Then ON
If Time 20:58 to 20:59 Then ON
If Time 21:58 to 21:59 Then ON
If Time 22:58 to 22:59 Then ON
If Time 23:58 to 23:59 Then ON
Set OFF

Something must be wrong, because I cant get it working! Any thoughts??

Thanks!!

Apex runs lines of code from top to bottom. Your last line is Set OFF so its turning it off all the time. Put it after Fallback OFF

As for the rest of the code you can do OSC to keep it more simple.

OSC 000:00/001:00/059:00 Then ON

Start off for zero minutes, on for 1 minute, off for 59 minutes. Repeats every hour for 24 hours.

If you want it to follow your timing exactly you can do it like this.

OSC 059:00/001:00/000:00 Then ON

Start off for 59 minutes minutes, on for 1 minute, off for zero minutes. Repeats every hour for 24 hours.

You also had 58-59. This would have actually ran for 2 minutes. As it counts both as being on. You wrote 1 minute at the top so I gave the OSC code for that.
