Cant get this to run every 20 minutes

AlarmProGuy · August 27, 2024, 4:19pm

I have tried this six ways from Sunday, all i am trying to do is turn on a switch for 4 minutes every 20 minutes>

Currently this is turning on the switch for 4 minutes at 20 minutes past the hour.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't use RM but it looks like you have selected minute 20 so this is the only time it will trigger. i.e. 20 past the hour.
Can you select minutes 00, 20 & 40?

Seems you want "Periodic Schedule" and "Every n minutes"

What @wj72 suggested. You can remove the if statement. You don't need it because the trigger is limited to between those times. I have this running now and it is turning the switch on every minute and off after 10 seconds. If that doesn't work check what the log is showing.

Would this cause this to keep checking every x minutes to see if it can run vs setting a certain time of day as the trigger?

It is possible that they both will work the same. I am not sure so I thought I would ask.
Thanks.
