    Refugium light not running as programmed

    I had my refugium light running using an OSC statement between 20:00 and 09:30, turning it off for 10 minutes each hour. I decided to change it to just run for the duration 20:00 to 09:30.

    I used this as the program

    Fallback OFF
    If Time 20:00 to 09:30 Then ON
    If Tmp > 28.0 Then OFF


    However it seems to be running continuously. Any help as to why? Where is my programming wrong please.

    I changed the ON statement to an OFF statement

    If Time 09:30 to 20:00 Then OFF

    And is seems to work. I am still not sure why the first statement didn't work.

    Your program is incomplete - it has nothing to set the default state of the outlet. Insert a Set OFF statement:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 20:00 to 09:30 Then ON
    If Tmp > 28.0 Then OFF
    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.
