Trying to automate my woodstove blower but its not working. I must be using the wrong blocks or they don't work the way I think they do.

I think I may have figured out my problem, coming off of the wrong output on the 'time range switch'

Couple of things. Please post code/flows inside code blocks.
Secondly, I'm not sure how your blower works or what it exactly does but do consider defensive programming if having it off/on at an inappropriate time might cause issues (like your house burning down!).

Not for certain how to post code/flows inside code blocks. What pasted in was the flow in JSON

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)
````auto
```
