Block: Schedule

Type: on_schedule

Create powerful time-based automation that runs your Actions on a schedule - from simple daily reminders to complex patterns like 'every 15 minutes during weekdays' or 'first Monday of each quarter'. Works like a smart alarm clock for your IoT devices, automatically triggering actions without any manual intervention. Perfect for turning lights on/off, sending regular reports, or controlling devices based on time patterns.

Inputs

Month

Choose which months to run the schedule. Options include 'All months' for year-round automation, specific months like 'January only' for seasonal control, or patterns like 'Every 3 months starting in March' for quarterly tasks.

Day

Select which days to trigger your schedule. You can choose specific calendar dates (1-31) for monthly events like 'every 15th', or days of the week (Monday-Sunday) for weekly patterns like 'every Tuesday and Thursday'. Cannot mix both date and weekday options.

Hour

Set the hour(s) when your Action should run, using 24-hour format (0-23). Examples: '9' for 9 AM, '14' for 2 PM, '21' for 9 PM, or 'Every 4 hours' for repeated intervals throughout the day.

Minute

Specify the exact minute(s) within the hour to run your Action (0-59). Examples: '0' for on-the-hour (like 9:00), '15' for quarter-past (like 9:15), '30' for half-past, or 'Every 15 minutes' for frequent automation.
