Water Level ATO Delay

[paperdesk]

I should know this, but I'm either too slow or too tired to make it work. How can I add in a delay so that my water level ATO will only run once per hour?

I'm looking at the libraries and I don't think it has ever been implemented.

How long would you want it to run each hour? The easiest way is to say to run it for 10 minutes at the top of each hour.

if (now()%3600<600) ReefAngel.WaterLevelATO(...);

Thanks for checking and replying! I really just want to be able to tell it to run only once per hour or once per half hour. For example. If the water surface has a ripple to it the ATO will keep going on and off with the waves. I don't like the relay and pump having to turn on and off so many times unnecessarily. I was sure that I used to have that code in place, but maybe not?
