Apex DoS Water Change Time Help

[gnomer]

Hey Guys,
Looking for some insight and clarity.

I perform water changes manually using FeedD.

Is there a command to have a device turn off every day at a specific time if said device is on?

My goal is to have H2O_START turn off once the water change is completed. The current DoS schedule is 06:00 - 16:01. I do not want this to turn on automatically as I do not always have saltwater prepared and ready to be used. Before I changed the time schedule I would execute FeedD the morning on the day I wanted to perform the water change, previously I would run it from 09:00-16:00. I need to increase the amount of water being replaced, so I need to increase the timeframe. I typically do not wake up before 6am so I will not be able to execute the morning of as I did previously. I will be executing the night before which the time executed could vary greatly but would always be after 4pm.

I was thinking the time command could work but I am overthinking and confusing myself on it. Would the configuration below work to shut H2O_START off at 4:02 every day if its on? I want to verify this would not cause any accidental execution to occur as well.

Current Config:
H2O_START:
Set OFF
Fallback OFF
If FeedD 000 Then ON

Possible New Config:
H2O_START:
Set OFF
Fallback OFF
If FeedD 000 then ON
If time 16:02-16:03 then OFF

Thanks for your help

Why not just setup a Profile for the DOS?
Clear the automatic schedule and just use feed to trigger it
and you can set it to not run during a certain time

If Feed D 000 Then (Profile Name)
If Time xx:xx to xx:xx then OFF
