Ok here are my instructions that I put in my AC3:

If Time > 12:00 Then T5_ ON
If Time > 14:05 Then T5_ OFF

If Time > 14:00 Then MH1 ON
If Time > 14:05 Then MH2 ON
If Time > 14:10 Then MH3 ON

If Time > 21:50 Then T5_ OFF
If Time > 21:55 Then T5_ OFF
If Time > 22:00 Then T5_ OFF

If Time > 21:29 Then T5_ ON
If Time > 23:00 Then T5_ OFF


Then my chiller is like this:

If Temp < 25.5 Then CHI ON
If Temp > 25 Then CHI OFF

But in this season to down/cool .5°C is doing it in 2 hrs. more or less, so if I have the MH Lights ON all the day then the Chiller also is working all the day and is a lot of electricity and heat in the room,

That is why I want when the chiller is ON then OFF the MH and turn ON the T5 ligths

And when the Chiller is OFF then have the MH lights ON

I set it like that but also is ON and OFF the MH/T5 lights in the night. =(

What do u think and how could I do this without ON/OFF the lights in the night ?

Thank you so much my friends!!
