I'm pretty sure its all or nothing but I have never used one personally. A guy on here had one catch on fire recently.... and several people have had some problems with it.
I would return it if you can.

The colors of the plugs are different.One timer is 2 colored plugs the other timer for two other plugs and the others are always on.I had some troubles figuring out when new setting up but now its set and leave it alone works for me

Do you have the a dual timer? I'm not sure, but I think you probably have the single. That could be why you are not able to get it to work.

thats the way product functions. kicks blue on when yellow kicks off. i had to get two to do what you are wanting. have had no problems with mine so far. use one for daylight. other one for actinics. have moon lights on actinic strip blue. when actinics kick off moonlights come on

If its a single you can plug in another timer into one of the outlets that stays on all the time and then you have two timers.
