My goal of the code below is to turn on a light when power consumption = 0 and between set times. As it stands, the code turns on the light when the power consumption = 0, but not within the specified time range. Looking at the code, it appears I need another If statement regarding the from/to time. Does anybody have an idea how to accomplish this?
