I am looking for advice for setting up my plank auto feeder. I am leaving the circulating pump in the feeder running all the time, so I only need to setup a timer for the auger(device that delivers food to the aquarium).

What I am trying to accomplish is turning on a switch channel for 30 seconds every 30 minutes between the hours of 9AM to 9PM.

I tried to go into the processes and assign the switch channel to a timer and I was going to manually add the times but I noticed GHL limits the maximum set points to 8.

I am also doing this on my phone or through the myGHL website. I will try later on the GCC on my computer.

Anybody have any ideas on how to set this up?

Hi

Use 2 timers, one cyclic and one with time period.
Use then a programmable logic with both timers.

Appreciate the help Gaël!

Does this look right?

I put my plank on a gosund programmable outlet. They are like 2 for $14 and work great. Super easy to program too. It’ll free up one of your switchable outlets.
I had mine on a similar programable outlet, but it also limited it to 10 feedings a day, and it did not go down to seconds. So minimum feeding time was 60 seconds/1 minute. I am wanting to feed more frequent smaller feedings throughout the day. I had a free outlet on my power bar so I wanted to move it over. I have been testing it since this morning and it is looking like my new programming(with the help of Gaël) is working correctly.

Same programing as shown above. Checked again this morning and it only ran for .2 hours which is 24 "feedings" of 30 seconds. So I think that programing is good to go. I will plug in the plank to it later today now that I have verified the programing is correct.
