Apex- Light on/off

[MichaelReefer]

Good afternoon.
I am trying to have my Santa Monica run opposite of my lights but this doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?


Fallback on
Set OFF
If Time 22:00 to 10:30 Then ON
If Time 10:31 to 21:59 Then OFF

You could try Fallback OFF, but the code looks ok from what I can see. Any ideas @SuncrestReef?

Hes taking a break I guess. I emailed him and got an auto reply.

How about if set to

Fallback on
Set OFF
If Time 22:00 to 23:59 Then ON
If Time 00:01 to 10:30 Then ON
If Time 10:31 to 21:59 Then OFF

As I may have encountered something like that in the past, whenever the period go through 00:00, it may not work! But I maybe wrong!

Worth a try.

What about:
If Outlet MainLight = ON THEN ON
That’ll keep them aligned no matter how you might change your main light in the future. I coded all of my lights like that so that I only have to look at HalideL for any code updates.

Good idea, but to run opposite it would be:
If outlet mainlight = on then off

The fallback state is irrelevant to normal function. That only tells the outlet what you want it to do if it loses comm with the apex. If it's better to run this 24/7 vs off entirely in that event, use Fallback ON, otherwise use OFF.

Three ways to code this. I am assuming your main lights are 10:30 to 22:00. All three work, choose whichever method makes the most sense to you so you can easily adjust it later if you need to.

1. Relate to main lights directly

Fallback ON
Set OFF
If Outlet MainLights = OFF Then ON

2. Two ways with timings

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Time 10:30 to 21:59 Then OFF

Fallback ON
Set OFF
If Time 22:00 to 10:29 Then ON

lol whoops! Thanks for the fix.
