Time switch

With the Time switch function the scene sequence can be started time-controlled. To add a new switching time, press the symbol at the bottom left, to delete switching times, click on the symbol at the bottom right.

Using the calendar icon in the switching time list, switching times can be imported from a calendar file (iCal, *.ics) - via a link (including Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox), from a file or from the clipboard. One on (value 1) and one off (value 0) switching time are created per event. For details on the import see Block Time switch; where to find the calendar links in the respective services is described in the help of the Holiday time clock.

In the first row the symbols for clock type and presence are shown. On the left side the clock type is set. As type Week clock, Date and Sunrise/Sunset can be selected. On the right side it is set when the switching time should be active. Present, Absent and Holiday. This way it can for example be selected that a switching time is only executed when you are present, but not when Absent or on Holiday. If none of the three symbols is active, the switching time is not executed.

Under Execute, once or always can be selected. With once, after execution the symbols Present, Absent and Holiday are deactivated again and thus the switching time is also deactivated.
