I want to schedule my skimmer to turn off and on at certain hours of the day. Can someone let me know the coding that is needed in advanced to make this happen. I realize I could call it a light but I like the additional features that classifying it as a skimmer brings like the 5 min delay for start up after a power outage. Thanks again!!!!!
 
The "Skimmer" Control Type sets the basics for you, then if you change the Control Type dropdown to "Advanced", you can add any additional coding, such as the "If Time" commands shown above by @HurricaneSystems.

Read my tutorial on Apex Control Types to see what I mean: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/apex-control-types.767/

and look at my Apex Timers tutorial for more details on If TIme and other commands: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-2-timers.689/

Just be aware, after you change it to "Advanced" and add additional code, if you ever change it back to "Skimmer" you will lose that additional code and be left with just the basic Skimmer settings.
 
Here is what I put in. This should work, right? Thanks!!
