I am new to Photon and new to coding. I am working on a DIY Pool Controller, and have made quite a bit of progress. I am looking to set up some schedules that will run certain pumps, lights, valves, etc at various times and created the following code as a test. The LED comes on via the relay it’s…

I must not be looking at the same library, as I don’t see any examples. If I could get some guidance using the library to accomplish what I just posted, I think I could take it from there. The DailyTimerSpark looks interesting, but again, I’m not quite sure how to use it. Thanks everyone.

[image] Exit2Studios: I must not be looking at the same library, If you go to the library button in the Web IDE, and type Time into the search field, you should see one called TimeAlarms. If you click on that one, you should see the TimeAlarmsExample.ino example.

I understand the concept of “alarms” in that it is publishing information. However, I’m not sure how to adapt that to actions that happen at those given times.

[image] Exit2Studios: I’m not sure how to adapt that to actions that happen at those given times. I'm not sure what you mean by that. You create an alarm with a specific time, and a function that is executed when the alarm times out, Alarm.alarmRepeat(17,45,10,onAlarm); // Execute onAlarm a…

Thank you for all the help @Ric (I was unable to respond since I’m a noobie). I’ve got alarms working. However, I do have a few questions. If the device goes offline and/or resets and one of the alarms is “active” (supposed to be on), is there a way to check that and activate? Is there a way…

[image] Exit2Studios: If the device goes offline and/or resets and one of the alarms is “active” (supposed to be on), is there a way to check that and activate? If by offline, you mean loses connection to the cloud, then that shouldn't affect your code if you use SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED). Your …

I would be very interested to see the code that allows you to calculate sunrise and sunset. I’m aware of pulling the data from an external source (i.e. weather underground), but need to figure out how to get it to work correctly. The DailyTimerSpark library has that capability but I was unable to …

[image] Exit2Studios: If the device goes offline and/or resets and one of the alarms is “active” (supposed to be on), is there a way to check that and activate? I wrote this library to solve exactly that problem [image] Exit2Studios: Is there a way to use sunrise/sunset? I’ve seen anoth…

@BulldogLowell , both of those look much cleaner (to my noobie eyes) than the previous libraries. I don’t recall seeing the DailyTimerParticle library in the Web IDE Library, just the older Spark version. I’ll do my homework and see how to add from GitHub, which I’m learning is the best way to get …

I never added the DailyTimerParticle library to the Particle list of libraries, mainly because I could not get that to work on my particular mac! If you are using Particle Dev, you merely need to copy the two library files into the directory where your .ino project file is located. If you are usin…
