programming question

[reedman]

If I am using the Sun command can I over ride this with a shut off for high temp?

For example:

If SUN 00:00 then LT1 ON
If Temp > 82 then LT21 OFF

I have tried this and it won't respond to the second command, but if I use simple timers (If TIME > 12:00 then LT1 ON) the over ride works.

What would be a good solution so I can use the SUN/MOON cycles but still protect against overheating?

Thanks,

Make sure the Temp statement is last so that it has the highest priority, and it will indeed shut off your light if the temperature goes about 82. You probably want a Max Change statement also so that the light does turn on/off multiple times when the temp oscillates around 82 degrees.
So the statements would be:

If SUN 000/000 then LT1 ON
If Temp > 82.0 then LT1 OFF
Max Change 030 M Then LT1 OFF

Thanks Curt. I'll try that.

I thought that's what I had and it didn't work, but it was late and my brain may have had an OFF statement going.
