jessebro45 · 07/17/2010, 10:34 AM

I want my MH's to turn on at 6:00 pm and off at 1:00 am

Its set to auto but not working??????

If Time > 18:00 Then MH1 ON
If Time > 01:00 Then MH1 OFF

That's invalid syntax for the If Time statement. It must be like this:

If Time 18:00 to 01:00 Then ON

The User Guide has a complete syntax chart for every command. You should download and review that.

What controller and firmware version are you running?

If you are using an Apex, try the command Alan suggested. I you are using an older Aquacontroller, try reversing the order of the commands like this:

If Time > 0:00 Then MH1 ON
IF Time > 01:00 Then MH1 OFF
If Time > 18:00 Then MH1 ON

I am using an AC3 Pro ...For the firmware iam only using the interface found here:

http://192.168.0.55/

When i asked Neptune they told me not to download aquanotes???? Should I

Just use the interface you are using (web server built into the AC3) and change the statements for time to what Schwaggs states above. That will fix your problem. The AC3 evaluates statements in order, so seeing that the time is > 01:00, it figures it should be turning things off. If the lights were to be on at all with your statements you listed in your first post, there's no possibility for the lights to register a time that they should be on (18:00 > 00:00 - so even at midnight when time is not > 01:00, there is nothing to turn them on).
