Well that explains it all. You're fukn retarded. You come back over a week later with your moms panties still bunched up.

We should call your parents and tell them you are growing pot in their basement again.

^^^^^ and apparently you're a snitch too. You have yourself a great day on the short bus.Don't' lick the windows too much. But you should jus go back to not posting here again.

this thread is radical....

I am trying to find a a timer that will "step" instead of dimming. I want every day to be three minutes shorter than the previous...

Would something like reflashing to homeassistant.io be easier to set custom schedules or can a Sonoff basic accomplish this, thanks all!!

Im kinda of interested myself and these are a ferk load cheaper than a 10v sunrise/sunset controller and way less time consuming than arduino....

Hey chroni or whoever
you ever mess around with the loop timer or schedule functions? Directions are limited and youtube isnt kind

Guess i have to buy some and find out ✌

yeah timer directioins are kinda vague without a device in front of you....

just picked up a Sonoff Dual and a single smart switch....

picked the dual up for the ground attachment, i will post once i see if a timer function will work thanks riu

The timer function works very well for me. It's one of their main features.
The only issue I had in the past is that the server was not available for several hours because of security updates. You get a message when the server is down.
But the timers works even without server connection, they keep their programming even in the event of a power failure.
They even adapted themselves to the time change last weekend.
The loop timers are great for water pumps in hydro setups or for regular CO² release for instance.Screenshot_20180329-085502.png eWelink app screenshot.png .

Is there a limit for the number of off/on changes? For example, can I use as a short cycle timer, to turn on a bubble cloner or an inline fan for 2 minutes every 5 minutes? Thanks!

Thats great and all and im excited but that doesnt change the vagueness of the directions, and I have read what I can several times and the loop timers are a reallly nice feature, but i am still looking for for an answer to my original question @Randomblame...... can you stagger your off times by 3mins every day? kind of a half assed rise/set...

On/off has a limit. But you could use the loop timer to do what you want. And you can also add on/off timer to the loop cycle (no 24/7).

You can set as many timers as you want. I have stuff turn off and on several times a day. I updated the firmware before I used it. I have had zero problems with either for my tents. I just got another one today with temp/humi sensor.

What's the limit. Bc right now I'm running 8. I had 13. So maybe mine doesn' have a limit.

Nope,
automatically 3mins less every day is impossible. You need to do it manually! That needs a much more complicated programming. But it's really don't needed to reduce daily. 20mins every week works the same...

I just checked with a buddy who uses a HurricaneX controller for his aquarium.
Even with an so-called aquarium/LED controller like the one above its not possible to set decreasing daylengths. You would have to program on-off times for each individual day.

And about timer-limits, as far as I know, at least 8 on and 8 off timings can be set per day per channel.

Yepp, with the loop timer probably but to be honest, I've not tried to set such a loop yet! The normal timer is limited to 8 or 10 on- and off times per day.

You can set the cycle time in hours and minutes. And you can set the delay time the same. So 2min every 5min seems possible (never tried myself). Last option to set is the starting point year:month:day:hour:minute

(I was wrong before, there is no timer to set for the loop, only the start)

That makes sense. I had 13 total functions. Not 13 individual operations. 8 on and 8 off is 16 functions. I had 13. It was like 6 ons and 7 offs.

is this something that can control 15 -30 lights (gavitas or HLG's) at once? like timer all of them? running 15 timers is annoying

The 16amp I believe is capable of running 3200 watts. So depending what size lights your running. You would need a few. But I doubt 1 per light.
