    Time of day temperature programming

    For many years I have had an Apex on my reef tank but I am not going to be adding one to my Day Gecko paladarium. I was wondering if there is a way to program it to keep the tank temperature around 85 degrees during the day but then keep it at around 75 degrees during the night. I will be using the Apex to control a heat cord that runs through the substrate of the tank. If so what would that line of code look like? Thanks in advance!!!

    Create two virtual outlets and adjust the times to match what is day vs night since I just guessed there.

    DayHeat
    If Temp < 84.7 Then ON
    If Temp > 85.3 Then OFF
    If Time 20:00 to 09:59 Then OFF

    NightHeat
    If Temp < 74.7 Then ON
    If Temp > 75.3 Then OFF
    If Time 10:00 to 19:59 Then OFF

    Actual heater
    Set OFF
    If Output DayHeat = ON Then ON
    If Output NightHeat = ON Then ON
