Outlet Scheduling

[tchapman88]

What is the correct Output / Schedule combination to control outlets in the following 2 scenarios:

1. Outlet ON 24hrs/day, but limited to M-Th
2. Outlet to run for a certain amount of time on a certain number of days / week (ex: 3 mins On / M-F)

For scenario 1, I tried but not working (Output should be On when in Auto, but is Off)
Output Type: FL Light
Controlled by Light Schedule: Yes
On when Schedule level above: 1
Overheat input: Unused
Output Device: Wifi Outlet

Schedule: Light Schedule
Variable Light Mode: Unused
Min Level: 100% (I have tried 1% with no effect)
Enable Advanced Settings: I don't see any options change when this is selected / deselected
Light Count: 1
Light 1: Output Device
Active in Modes: Normal
Run every N days: 1
Run on Days of Week: currently all days selected
Depends on: Unused

I have not tested Scenario 2 since Scenario 1 does not appear to be working yet.

Thx in Advance!

You have to declare a light mode. Otherwise, it will not work. For example, if you want constant intensity, select "Slope" and set the Slope interval to 00:00:00.

Thx Carlos! Slope = 0 worked perfectly and an option that I overlooked.

AWC feature worked for scenario 2 above.

I just watched the Advanced Programming CVTV episode; excited to implement some Virtual Outputs

I believe:
-Generic = multi-inputs trigger an Output
-Combiner = multi-outputs trigger a 3rd Output
--Is there a way for an input to trigger multiple Outputs?

Yes, you can have multiple outputs use the same input. You can also have one output use the input and other outputs depending on the first output with the input. So there are multiple ways of going about it.
