I cannot seem to get my Apex to operate the way I'd like and I'll assume user error first. Can anyone help??

First, I have the two clocks issue. I tried fixing it on my own but have been unsuccessful. If I understand correctly, the Apex thinks I'm viewing from the time zone represented in the teal box, while my tank is operating by the time in the orange box. How can I get this to one simple clock?

Second and maybe related. My lights won't operate based on the times set. On at 1pm (13:00) off at 10:30 (22:30). And yet when I set, send to Apex, confirm tank clock on orange, no light.. Same for fuge light although different on off times.

Also, my EB 832 indicator lights don't seem to represent what's actually happening. My skimmer is plugged in to port 2. I unplugged it and plugged it back in to confirm this and while it IS on, the indicator light is not lit.

With regard to Off - Auto - On.. When you go from On backwards to Auto, the skimmer will come on. But if you go On all the way to Off and then Auto it will remain off. What is this about?

I know it's a lot, I'm sure I'm a dummy but help would be greatly appreciated.
 
For the time issue, log into your apex using the IP address or by typing in Apex.local in your web browser. Then go to time setup and change the time zone. In Fusion, in the upper left corner, click the down arrow below the home icon. Select Profile and set your location. That should fix the light issue and get the times in sync.

Regarding the skimmer outlet, please post the programming for that.
 
Thanks slief. I tried that fix for lights, didn't do the trick/I did it wrong.

I'm on the East coast so -5 should be correct. No?

Here is my skimmer program.

Your light timer issue is most likely based on the clock issue. Have you used the classic dashboard to set the proper time zone on both units?
 
My address info in Fusion is accurate and uploaded. Still have dual clocks.
 
TheHarold, I have made attempts. I try to solve my problems by reading before bothering the community but this ones got me..

I have logged in to classic by entering my Apex IP, the UI appears identical to fusion which makes me think it's incorrect..
 
It must be classic bc it doesn't say Apex Fusion across the top. I'm on an iPad and iPhone if that matters..
 
My Apex clock is set to the same time zone as Dhaka Bangladesh..
 
I changed the auto clock and DST settings to disabled, then rebooted.

THEN, I changed them back to the way they appear in the picture, and rebooted again.. Still two clocks.
 
Re-eneable the DST and the Auto Clock.

In your post #3 your picture of the time is not (-5) you have it set to (5). The minus sign in-front of the 5 in the picture is a button to lower the value of the timezone.
 
And the Internet awards all the points to jonmos and his attention to detail. Thank you Sir.

I'll play with my lighting schedule now to see that it works.
 
The Defer 001:00 says to wait for 1 minute before turning the outlet on. So when you go from off to auto it will wait the minute before turning on and when you go from on to auto it is already on so it stays on.
