Light and time program

[vnwind]

This is what i currently have for controlling my MH outlet, basically i want it to turn off if temp > 83 or between 8:00 PM to 1:00 PM, and only want it turn on once the temp is below 82. Here it is

Fallback OFF
If Temp < 82.0 Then ON
If Time 20:00 to 13:00 Then OFF
If Temp > 83.0 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF


The reason i want to give it 1 degree because i don't want my MH on and off and on and off if it keep bouncing between around 83.

Is this correct?

Thanks

Yes, that looks correct.

Fallback OFF
If Temp < 82.0 Then ON
If Time 20:00 to 13:00 Then OFF
If Temp > 83.0 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

What if the Time is 14:00 and the Temp is 82.5. Wouldn't the lights be OFF? I think this would be better:

Set ON
Fallback OFF
If Time 20:00 to 13:00 Then OFF
If Temp > 83.0 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

or

Set OFF
Fallback OFF
If Time 13:00 to 20:00 Then ON
If Temp > 83.0 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

To answer your question, Yes. Your two options are more typical, but give a hard cutoff at 83F. He wanted a scheme where the lights would cut off at 83F, stay off for at least 30 minutes AND have cooled to less than 82F.
