how do i do timed osc commands? thanks!

hey guys, basically im trying to run my kalk pump for 2 mins every hour from 00:00 to 12:00 and 1 minute every hour from 12:01 to 23:59...
would this work?

fallback off
if time 00:00 to 12:00 then on
osc 000/002/059
if time 12:00 to 23:59 then on
osc 000/001/059
if pH > 8.4 then off

That won't work properly. The OSC command is only used once per set of instructions.

See next post to solve this with virtual outlets.

Set up two virtual outlets. First one would be:


Fallback OFF
OSC 000/002/058 Then ON
If Time 12:00 to 23:59 Then OFF

And the second:

Fallback OFF
OSC 000/001/059 Then ON
If Time 00:00 to 11:59 Then OFF

Then the pump code would be:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output VOutlet1 = ON Then ON
If Output VOutlet2 = ON Then ON
If pH > 8.4 Then OFF

Totally makes sense except when I go to profiles to make a new profile, the pump profiles are in seconds and I cannot make the off timer more thank 255 seconds (trying to enter 59(mins)*60 seconds or 3540 seconds...

Am I missing something ?

 

[rkpetersen]

Yeah my mistake, I forgot those were in seconds. The second method I posted is the correct way. Going to remove that first post now!

Thanks, the issue is that it will take 255 seconds as max off time
