I have setup the controller but I noticed the MH and light switch are always to off. What's going on? I have them programmed to different time of the day and at this time the MH should be ON but in auto mode it is at red on the controller and there is no current on the outlet.

Is the controller defective?

That outlet only turn on if I switch it on manually.

Can you post your code?

MH lights should be on until 8:15 pm but it is off and has remained off all day. wierd.
I tried changing the outlet for the MH to 3 but then it's the outlet 3 that remain off.

Does it have to be connected to work? because right now the controller is in test mode and not connected to my computer so nothing is plugged in that port.

Also, should I write this code to memory or in the code? because I have always use in the code. what's the difference? since it is what is recommanded, that's what I used.

I just did a quick test and it work if I remove the delay on, as soon as I put something in the delayed start, it does not work.

The 10 you are using means 10 minutes delay.
It will only turn on that port after 10 minutes after a reboot.

Ok I thought it was only during a power outage that it was using that delay. did not know it was with any reboot.

I will try it and wait 10 minutes.

thanks.
