Good day people. I need some help writing code for my classic Apex Controller. I wanted my ATO to run pretty much 24/7. However I wanted it to automatically shut off every Sunday for about 5 minutes from 12pm to 12:05pm then turn back on. I have been messing wth the DoW command with no luck....HELP. 😀
I dont understand why that would be useful, but here is how to do it anyway.
Create a VO
SundayOFF
Set OFF
If Time 12:00 to 12:05 Then ON
If DOW -MTWTFS Then OFF
ATO
(Existing code)
If Output SundayOFF = ON Then OFF

I will try anything...Thanks dude I am going give it a shot. Hope it works.
Why not just turn it off for that 5 minutes every day? Keep it simple...
Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
I actually installed water change system to pump 5 gallons of fresh water every Sunday at Noon. I also have a submersible pump that pumps old water to my sewer line. I am just lazy and thought it would be cool to automate the entire process. I know I could write code to just have the ATO to turn off automatically around from 12pm to 12:05pm. Since the water out and water in is about approximately 4 mins total.
I tried your code and it's not working....
That isn't helpful to just say something isn't working, especially since I know if it was done properly what I suggested works. What about it isn't working and what is your code after trying to incorporate what I suggested?Originally Posted by nautchilous

Since today is Thursday. I was trying to get it work today. This is the virtual outlet I created.
VO
AUTOCLEAN
SET OFF
IF TIME xx:xx to xx:xx Then ON
DOW SMTW-FS Then OFF
This is current code for My Tunze ATO
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If FeedA 007 Then OFF
If FeedB 007 Then OFF
If Swx9_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Output Autofeed = ON Then OFF
If Output AUTOCLEAN = ON Then OFF
Your code makes perfect sense. Just not sure why the Virtual Outlet is not Turning on at the specific inputed times...I hope this help...Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The VO is not turning on at the specific time needed.
Does your clock match (ie only one clock in fusion) and is the VO in auto? I dont see a problem with the way you coded it. Perhaps accidentally writing the wrong time could have caused a problem too.

Here re is a image of my apex dash board. There seem to be two clocks on my dashboard and they seem to be 1hr apart. Not sure if that helps.
That's your problem then. Make sure you have the correct daylight savings time and UTC offset for your region and it should come on at the correct time.

If your settings are correct, you might need to remove the internet from your apex unit for a minute then plug it back in. This forces it to reset the clock after the time change.
I unplugged the internet cord and did a reset. There is only one clock showing up on my dash board. Tried the code again and still not working.
is there another code I could write for the ATO to turn off for 5 minutes on Sunday.
i am getting close in giving up.
That's the only way to do it besides linking it to the state of the AWC (which I couldn't help with or know if it would work at all without seeing that code). This AND That require a VO to work. Did you perhaps forget to change the DOW when testing it? If you left it the same as before and just changed the time, that could have stopped it from turning on.
