The way you have it written, each time location mode changes (to anything), or the temp rises or drops out of that range, the outlet will turn off.

Here is how I would code it:

The above piston has precise triggers for both on and off, and will not get in the way of manual settings. (unless 5:15am happens to roll around)

Just for clarification, the above piston only shuts off at 5:15am, period. It does not shut off when you leave the house, nor if the temperature rises too much, nor when manually turned on. If you need any of those conditions, more code would be required.
