    OK, I am trying to get my apex to dose 1 min3 times daily.

    Here is my program

    Fallback OFF
    If Time 08:00 to 08:01 Then ON
    If Time 16:00 to 16:01 Then ON
    If Time 23:00 to 23:01 Then ON

    For some reason it does not turn off.

    What did I do wrong?

    Do you have the doser plugged into the relay outlets on power bar? It's position 4 and 8 on a EB8.

    You left out one line "Set OFF", see example here copied from mine;

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 17:20 to 17:39 Then ON

    Also with the time settings you have entered it will dose 2 minutes each time as it will turn on the outlet from 08:00:00 to 08:01:59. If you want one minute, I don't know if you can program with the seconds included or if you would put in
    08:00 to 08:00

    try this:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 21:00 to 21:01 Then ON
    If Time 00:00 to 00:01 Then ON
    If Time 04:00 to 04:01 Then ON
    Defer 001:00 Then ON


    this way it will only rune for the 1 minute

    Fallback off
    Set off
    If time 21:00 to 21:01 then on
    If time 21:01 to 00:00 then off
    If time 00:00 to 00:01 then on
    If time 00:01 to 04:00 then off
    If time 04:00 to 04:01 then on
    If time 04:01 to 21:00 then off

    This will set your dosing times and your off times.
