What is Schedule and how do I set up Schedules to enable/disable automation rules or turn on/off IoT sensors?

Creating a schedule allows you to activate/deactivate automation rules or turn on/off IoT devices automatically. Schedules recur daily or weekly, depending on how you pick the date and time. For example, you might turn on/off a smart plug for a lamp at nighttime/daytime at a specific time.

To create a schedule for your automation rules or smart home devices, please follow the steps below:

Note: The first time you set a new schedule, your IoT device or automation rule will be activated or deactivated when it comes to the start time or end time. It won’t change the device or rule status upon saving the schedule. For example, if you create a recurring schedule at 1:00 pm to turn on your IoT device at 06:00 am and turn it off at 06:00 pm on a daily basis, your IoT device will not be enabled at 1:00 pm, the moment you create the schedule on the app. It will be enabled in the next morning at 6:00 am, following your schedule.

Step 7: Tap to select s start time and end time for your schedule. Then tap Save. The automation or the smart home device you’ve chosen will be enabled automatically during the period.
