Apex bewilderment

[bigyankfan]

Since I'm going from a 50 to a 225, I decided automation was the way to go and got myself an Apex. Just as a bit of background, in the past I was a software developer: C, C++, VB, VBA, Perl and PL/SQL, so I'm no stranger to tech but this Apex is driving me *crazy*. Even simple things don't work as I assume they should. I have two EB8's and the outlet that I have my fuge light plugged into is labeled FugeLt_2_5, the 5th outlet in the second EB8. If I use the dashboard, I can toggle the light on and off so I know it's the right outlet but when I try to turn the light on and off via the timer (see below). nothing happens, even though I set the outlet to Auto. What am I doing wrong because for the life of me I can't figure it out.

I do the advanced and just do a program:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sun 000/000 Then ON
If Time 22:00 to 11:30 Then OFF
If Tmp > 80.5 Then OFF
Min Time 001:00 Then OFF

Your temp of the tank maybe higher than what it’s program.
So it will turn off the outlet if the temp is over 80

I have learned to to let the apex control much.
I have my apex just to monitor and not take action. I have it setup to notify me and I will take action.

You have the light on for only 5 mins? What you have there it will only be on between 17:40 and 17:45 when it's in auto mode.

I am assuming he put those on for 5 minutes to test the on and off...but good observation if OP overlooked what time of day it was.

Yes I wanted to watch it come on and off while I was there to observe it. I actually want it to be on between 1AM and 7AM.

Problem solved. Thx to all who replied.
