How to set multiple schedule in azure timer function?

Question

I have a working sample azure timer function, but about setting it in multiple schedule, I'm not sure if doing it correctly, because I can't test it immediately because it is scheduled hours gap.

My goal is, to display context.log every 8:00AM, and 8:00PM every day.

note: my code below actually don't work because parameter hour does not accept array (for demonstration purpose only)

Here is my code:

export const TimerTrigger1 = TypedAzFunc.createFunctionBuilder(__dirname)
  .with(
    TimerTriggerPlugin.init({
      schedule: {
        crontab: {
          second: 0,
          minute: { interval: 1 },
          hour: [{ interval: 8 }, { interval: 20 }],
          day: '*',
          month: '*',
          dayOfWeek: '*',
        },
      },
    })
  )
  .build(async (context, timer) => {
    var timeStamp = new Date().toISOString()

    if (timer.isPastDue) {
      context.log('timer has already triggered')
    }
    context.log('timer has triggered', timeStamp)
  })

export const run = TimerTrigger1.run

You could solve this by having 2 timers, one for 8 am and one for 8 pm.
