advanced outlet setup?

[jetfixr]

I am trying to do an ato setup with a break for 3 hours between 17:00 and 20:00 for an automatic water change sequence. I have the ato coming on for 2 minutes every half hour.. that part works.... it is just not remaining off between 17:00 and 20:00.

Here is the advanced programming info:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 20:00 to 17:00 Then ON
OSC 028:00/002:00/000:00 Then ON


Where did I screw up?

 

[aquamanic]

change the order of the oscillate and the if time like this:

OSC 28:00/2:00/0 Then ON
If Time 17:00 to 20:00 Then OFF

That should work.

Remember that outlet statements are evaluated in order, top to bottom. The last statement "wins" if you will. Re-read your original logic and you'll see what's happening.

Hey, thanks a bunch, I will rewrite the statement tonight and see if it has the desired affect when I get home tommorrow night.

 

[jetfixr]

changed it to read as follows.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 028:00/002:00/000:00 Then ON
If Time 17:00 to 20:00 Then OFF


It is still cycling thru the period from 17:00 to 20:00

 

[aquamanic]

No way. Do you have another outlet with an oscillate stmt?

 

[jetfixr]

thats the only one

 

[aquamanic]

if you set that outlet's status to MANUAL OFF, while it's oscillating, does it turn OFF?

 

[jetfixr]

Oh, hey thanks alot aquamanic, turns out I was looking at a graph for the ATO from a previous day before I made the changes. It did cycle off when I re-wrote the code the way you suggested

 

[aquamanic]

Good. You had me flumuxed there. It had to turn off - there were only two lines of code!
