    Dos

    My dos is only dosing once a day and I want it to dos twice. I'm using a profile to say how much. Here's my program but it's only working at the 1700 time not the 1300 time.

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 13:00 to 13:05 Then feed
    If Time 17:30 to 17:05 Then feed

    Post the profile code or screenshot too.

    Your interval is too long. It needs to be less than 4 hours so it's "done" before the next feed if I understand the way the profile operates.

    That part was fine before. It's the "dose interval that needs to change. Set that to 1 and you won't have to think about it again.

    No. A DŌS Interval of 9999 is perfectly fine when used in a profile that is intended for one-shot doses. I've used that many times, and it also serves as a reminder to me that, for practical purposes, there will not be any repeat doses. The DŌS profile, when used with a short If Time like this, gets "reset" as soon as the If Time expires and the Set OFF becomes the last true statement. A DŌS Interval of 1 second will not be accepted - it will result in this case with a "Too much dosing in too short of a period. Increase dosing rate or dosing interval." error.

    Could the issue be the time set. I just noticed I had it wrong in my program as 17:30 to 17:05. Should of been 17:00 and if corrected should it work properly?

    If Time 13:00 to 13:05 Then feed

    If Time 17:30 to 17:05 Then feed

    Dos

    Yes, that is the problem. Please - ALWAYS copy & paste existing programming rather that retyping it.

    Also, rename that profile - “Feed” is a reserved keyword in Apex programming; its best to avoid using such a keyword as a used-defined name of an input, output, or profile.

    Edited - a typo was fixed

    That's your problem. Should be 17:30 to 17:35

    That was a copy paste. I'll use screen shots next time. And I'll change the name
