First off, I want to say that it has been about two years since I initially programmed my Apex Classic, so I did have to brush up on the basics, but I am having a really difficult time programming my Apex to run my new refugium light. I am trying to get the Apex to turn on the light at 10:00pm at night, then turn off the light at 6:00am the following morning. Here is what I used as my initial programming:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 22:00 to 6:00 then ON
If temp > 80.0 then OFF
Min Time 30:00 Then OFF
Switched the Fusion slider to "Auto". This didn't work: the START time came and went, but nothing turned on, so I figured that maybe the start time continuing on to another day was the problem, and switched the Time to the following:
If Time 22:00 to 23:59 Then ON
If Time 00:00 to 06:00 Then ON
That still didn't work.
I can manually move the Fusion slider to "ON" and manually kick the light on no problem, so there is no obvious issue with the powerbar, or the light. Also, the status on the slider remains "OFF" when the slider is set to "Auto" and the light should be on, per the programming.
I did go into the actual Apex Display Module, and confirmed that the time was set to match the actual time, and the time shown on the Fusion app.
If I change my programming to show the Set to "ON", the device turns on, and of course remains on, even in "Auto" mode.
I have tried to program another outlet that is not being used, using the same language, and am getting the same result with this outlet as well (nothing is plugged in, just watching the status of the outlet in Fusion, to see if it turns ON when it is programmed to). I also removed the temp language, and Min Time language, so its just the SET, FALLBACK, and TIME schedule, but still the same results.
Thanks in advance for the help. I have programmed this Apex to do much more complicated things in the past with no problem, so I'm kind of embarrassed that I am having such a hard time with something so simple.
