    First timer to programming want to do my lighting for my 40 breeder

    well here is what I have in the Advanced

    fallback OFF
    if TIME 10:00 to 20:00 then ON
    if Tm40b > 82.0 then OFF
    min time 001.00 then OFF

    So what i need help with...
    this light is older model Marineland Planted tank LED light. Well to make a long story short it goes off at 3pm (due to Marineland pre programmed function) so I need to program in a turn light off at 03:05 next program light to go ON at 03:07, then to go to Auto at 03:08. this is all to reset the Marineland.

    Thanks for any help you can give, I have a bunch to program/learn an am senior citizen and this is real new

    Fallback OFF
    Set off
    If TIME 10:00 to 15:05 then ON
    If time 15:07 to 20:00 then ON
    If Tm40b > 82.0 then OFF
    Min time 001:00 then OFF

    Leave the Apex Dashboard switch in the Auto position. "Auto" will execute your programming as written in your code, "Off" will keep the outlet off until you switch it back on or auto and "ON" will keep it on no matter what. My switch for a Lunar light mode below is in the Auto position, but the code written is telling the outlet to be off currently as indicated by the word off by the gear.

    It is the Marineland that needs to be turned off then back on then to auto. This above program will not work, because the light has cycled it self and thinks its night and will not come back on for 12 hours. thats why it has to go OFF,ON. I miss stated by saying AUTO, i was trying to say was go off at 20:00.

    The program Chad gave you will turn the outlet off at 15:06 and back on at 15:07.
    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.
