I have a question. I'm wanting to schedule a green house heater to run every 2 hours for an hour between the hours of 7PM and 7AM. Don't need it running in day since sun will warm up. I'm more concerned with overnight freezing temps. Do I have to create a bunch of rules? The heater is connected to an automated switch.
No. Just define your triggers as the start times.
Triggers:
7pm, 10pm, 1pm, and 4pm
Actions:
On switch
Wait for Event, elapsed time = 2 hours
Off switch
The rule will run at the define start times and turn on the switch. It will then wait two hours and turn off the switch.

Is this a Basic Rule? Sorry, I'm not extremely familiar with Hubitat rules. I mostly have it doing simple automation like sunrise/sunset lights. This is my first more complicated setup.
No worries. You’ll need either Basic Rules or Rule Machine. Both can handle multiple triggers and the wait.
