I have one my lights programmed to turn off if the temp rises above 81 degrees...

my question is, if i wanted to keep then off for a certain amount of time before the turn back on, how should i go about programming that...

the reason i ask is because i just noticed my lights turned on and off in 3 cycles within 5 second because the temp was fluctuating between 81.0 to 81.1

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Use the Max Change - below cuts MH at certain temp and leaves off for half hour. Just put 81.0 instead of seasonal.

If Temp < RT+3.8 Then MH1 OFF
Max Change 030 M Then MH1 OFF

Psam is correct except the '<' symbol should have been a '>'. You can use the following and be sure that the lines are after your on/off statements for the light otherwise the 'temp' could be ignored.

If Temp > 81.0 Then MH1 OFF
Max Change 030 M Then MH1 OFF
