Apex lite system will not stay in automode

[Reefer Robbie]

I finally got this Apex light system hooked up and running on my laptop. everything runs lighting skimmer Etc When I the slide switch to the on position. I set my times correctly.when I put the switch on auto everything stays running When it should be off. I'm ready to give up it's driving me crazy been at this all day. when I Slide the switch to auto it says Auto in the right-hand corner but then eventually it says on , in Orange letters

When in AUTO mode, the indicator at the upper right will say ON when it's actually running/powered, and OFF when it isn't.
With some devices, it may say something else, like mode and percentage for lights and pumps, TBL for the DOS, etc.
If your devices are always staying on when you want them not to, please post the actual code and we can take a look at it.
(Go to the Output's configuration page, pull down the menu on the left to Advanced, and then copy and past the code on the right.)

I’m assuming this is time based?

Do you have 1 or 2 clocks on the dashboard?

Two clocks.... help me please

 

[Reefer Robbie]

yes there are two digital clocks running on the right side one is orange and the other is blue. the orange one has the present time.

OK, that's a problem. You should only have one clock, in orange, if you are currently at home.
Expand the top row of buttons, and click on the Clock icon.
Then set your Time Zone, Daylight Savings Time, and Auto Clock Set correctly.
If you're in Danbury CT, your time zone is GMT -5. DST and auto clock set Enabled.
The Local and Apex times on the left should match.
Upload the new Clock settings and that should have your devices running on the right schedule.

the orange clock has the correct time in it already. When I click on it nothing happens the blue clock
13 :15 different time

You need to go to the Clock page.

Click here:

Then here:

Then make the adjustments I described here:

I don't get a clock icon on my system

 

[rkpetersen]

Huh. OK, looks like the Lite doesn't have a clock page. That's a new one on me!

Do you have a Display module with your system?
If so, you can do it from there.
Press the center round button.
Then scroll down to System with down arrow, and select that with the center button.
Then select Clock Setup.
The configurable options should be on the next page.

Also, make sure your laptop is set to the correct time and time zone as well.
