Can anyone tell me why this lighting schedule for my fuge is not working?
 
the program looks right, i don't think there is an issue with the 0:00 On time.

If the outlet is set to Auto in the dashboard then switch the Control Type to Advanced and copy and past the code here.
 
Can you post a pic from your computer so we can see the full set up?
 
Ive had a similar issue, and it was due to when I was wanting things to happen and what time it was when I was doing it.

Based on your code, you want the light to turn on at midnight (0:00) and shut off at 10am (10:00). It was ~7 or 8 this morning when you posted. If you give the apex a command like IF Time 0:00 THEN ON, the outlet will only turn on when the clock goes from 23:59 to 0:00. It doesnt recognize that its past time the outlet should have been on, and it wont kick to that state automatically. The easiest fix for this is to switch the outlet (using Fusion) to the ON state, using the slider bar. Wait a moment for the light to come on, then switch the outlet slider to AUTO. The light should stay on and you're good to go.
 
I tried during the time it should be on. I've tried turning it on first then auto.

Temp probe isn't connected but tried deleting the fall back. Still no luck.

Just to cover some basics.....is the light plugged into outlet 8? does the outlet work with other devices? does the light itself work? what temp is your tank?
 
yeah, only thing left is to make sure the plug is in #8, then see if the light switches on when you manually move the slider to on. The code looks fine.

#8 is the far bottom right plug if your are facing the EB8

try to Set On...or remove the Min time...

I could also read some issue on the On/Auto/Off

"If I went from "off" to "auto" it wouldn't work. I have to move it from "On" first, then to "Auto"."

maybe this is your case ?

I've tried this too. Manual on off does work but in then to auto still doesn't work
 
What kind of light are you using ?
Did you verify your timer in the dashboard and the one in "Settings" > "Clock" to see if both are matching.
Remove the "Min time" and following programming should normally work

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 00:00 to 10:00 then ON
If Temp > 82.0 Then OFF

Remember to set the slider from "On" first, then to "Auto".
Depending on actual time when you are doing those changes, fusion will then show you On or Off .
