Virtual outlets for weekday/weekend, what am I missing?

[chvvkumar]

Here is my program for virtual outlets:

Schedule expected:
Weekdays: Turn ON between 03:30PM and 10:30PM
Week end: Turn ON between 10:30AM and 03:30PM

weekday virtual

fl_weekday
If Time 15:30 to 22:30 Then ON
If DoW S-----S Then OFF

weekend virtual

fl_weekend
If Time 10:30 to 15:30 Then ON
If DoW -MTWTF- Then OFF

And the physical outlet:

LightFront
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output fl_weekday = ON Then ON
If Output fl_weekend = ON Then ON
If Tmp > 82.0 Then OFF
Min Time 010:00 Then OFF

But it seems to not be working. What am I missing?

Thanks!

You need a Set OFF statement above the If Time statement in both virtual outputs.

Thank you for your time! That seems to not be working either. This is the example from the Reference guide I followed:

Russ is correct in saying you need a Set Off on your virtual outlets. Think of it this way...

fl_weekday
If Time 15:30 to 22:30 Then ON
If DoW S-----S Then OFF

1. Let's say today is Monday, at 12:00 noon. Your virtual outlet will be Off because the code turned it off yesterday (since Sunday = Off).

2. Now as the time passes 15:30, the virtual outlet turns on.

3. Next, the time passes 22:30. What turns the outlet off? Answer: NOTHING. It won't turn off again until Saturday because that's the next time an OFF statement is true.

Thank you guys for your time and replies. I tried your way as well but for some reason the schedule didn't work. I rebooted the controller to see if it made a difference, and it looks like the reboot fixed the issue. There might have been something preventing the schedule from working like it should and the reboot must have shaken something loose.
