Controlling a contactor with a GE plug-in outdoor switch


#1

execute
with
GE #2 Plug-in Outdoor Switch
do
Turn on (only while Away, Night, or Home);
Wait until 5:00:00 AM (only while Away, Night, or Home);
Turn off (only while Away, Night, or Home);
Wait until 5:30:00 AM;
Turn on (only while Away, Night, or Home);
Wait until 5:00:00 PM;
Turn off (only while Away, Night, or Home);
Wait until 5:30:00 PM;
end with;
end execute;

trying to get the piston to turn on the GE plug-in outdoor switch to turn on at 5am off at 530am and again on at 5pm and off at 530pm

this is what it says at the top of the piston page in yellow “This piston does not subscribe to any events. Unless executed by other means, it will never run on its own.”

Do I have to separate the On & OFF time in individual statements

Well…a Wait is not a Trigger. Read the article below.

So there’s two ways you can do what you want… I show both below.

You can use Time or a Timer. You just have to construct them a bit differently. Either way will work though. Your choice.
