Hi All

I need some help with wavemaker code

I currently have:

    if (hour()>=8 && hour()<22){
    ReefAngel.WavemakerRandom( Port6,0,60 );
    ReefAngel.Wavemaker( Port5,120 );
    }else{
    ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port5);
    ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port6);
    }

For my night mode both port 5 and 6 are off. What I would like to do is just switch on port 5 for a couple of minutes every hour or so, then port 6 for a couple of minutes the next hour and repeat until the daylight hours kick back in.

Any ideas? I was thinking of using timers but failed to get the code to work.

I would use the DosingPumpRepeat() function in the else part of your code. Then you can specify how many seconds to run each and the offset.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Next dumb question. Is there any documentation on how to use this function?

Then search for the function it will show you the arguments it takes
