I think I nailed it. I added a function "RelayOff before the normal cycle starts; that seems to do the trick. Now I need to add a RTC, I have one. How do I do this?
/*
A time switch based on the TimeAlarm example
I want to switch realy 1 on for 10 seconds then go off after which
Relay 2 is witched on for 10 seconds and then off
However: this does not work as expected: both relays are ON immediately at 19:00
Eventually I want this to work with an RTC so I can use real time (I have a DS1307)
