Apex Multiple DOW + Time statements on same outlet

[psumms]

Is it possible to have multiple time + day statements on an outlet, e.g. as below, testing this seems to suggest not. Is there a workaround?

If Time 00:00 to 08:50 Then OFF
If DOW ----TFS Then OFF
If Time 08:53 to 14:50 Then OFF
If DOW SMT---- Then OFF

In order to combine multiple conditions, you’ll need to split it out into separate virtual outputs, then use the status of those virtual outputs to control the physical output. Example:

[SMT_Control] — virtual output
Set OFF
If Time 00:00 to 08:00 Then ON
If DOW SMT---- Then OFF

[TFS_Control] — virtual output
Set OFF
If Time 12:00 to 20:00 Then ON
If DOW ----TFS Then OFF

[Device] — physical output
Set OFF
If Output SMT_Control = ON Then ON
If Output TFS_Control = ON Then ON

Adjust the times and days to your preference.
