At midnight start a stopwatch. If the pump is off pause the stopwatch.

When the pump is turned on resume the stopwatch.

When the pump is turned off pause the stopwatch.

One minute before midnight read out the stopwatch, post it on the timeline, wait 1 second, stop the stopwatch.

(Let my ‘plafond 1’ be your pump.)
