Hi i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to turn on port 5 of the relay box at 06:00 and off at 08:05 then on at 18:00 and off at 20:05

know nuthing about coding

Thanks

This could work for you. It will turn the port on if it falls inside those time frames. This code will go in your loop().

this is my code now does that look okay?

Actually, there is a need of a check or the 2nd function will always override the first.
This should work:

I don't think that would work Curt. The second iteration would shut off the port from 6:00 - 8:05. It's not like the dimming code where you can nest it.

I would do this:
I'm using 12 as an arbitrary time to do one versus the other, so that can easily be changed to whatever you like.


LOL - Roberto came up with the same solution

heres my code now would that work?

Thanks for the help totally lost with coding

Yes, but I would take out the extra Port5 calls earlier in the file just to avoid confusion

Thanks got that done will see how it goes.
Big thanks to everyone for the help

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I couldn't remember off hand about the multiple statements in a row.
Guess I'm slipping and "losing my touch". haha
