    Min Time clarification

    I am just getting my head around the Min Time statement. Could someone please clarify the following for me

    As I see this assuming its normal power and the time is 07:59

    Fallback ON ....sets it to ON should the power break, so assuming power is ok its ignored for now.
    Set OFF..... sets its initial state in the register to OFF, when it's in the AUTO setting.
    If Time 08:00 to 19:00 Then ON .....
    It is 07:59 so the register now remains OFF
    Min Time 010:00 Then OFF.....
    The register is held in the previously set OFF state for 10 minutes then the register remains OFF. However, it would then turn ON since the time is now 08:10 and be held in ON due to the Min Time 010:00. It wouldn't turn OFF because the Time is between 08:00 and 19:00.


    As I see this assuming its normal power and the time is now 19:00

    If Time 08:00 to 19:00 Then ON .....It is 19:00 so the register now remains in ON
    Min Time 010:00 Then OFF.....
    The register is held in the previously set On state for 10 minutes then the register resets to OFF. The earliest the register could set to OFF after the 08:00 to 19:00 period would be at 19:10

    So the Output being controlled would be ON between 08:10 and 19:10

    Is my understanding correct?

    Nope. Min time 010:00 Then OFF

    In the event the outlet is turned off for any reason, force the state to off for the first 10 minutes even if the code would otherwise have turned it back ON.

    For some it helps to pretend the Then isn't there when you read it.

    So in this case it would just stop it turning on again for 10 minutes after it was set to the off state for any reason?

    It wouldn't have any effect on an ON in this case, unless it was Min Time 010:00 Then ON then it would hold ON for 10 minutes?

    Yes.

    Min Time then ON also works the same but forces it to remain ON If you manually turned it on during night time and then switched it back to auto.
