Schedules

Schedules let you automatically trigger cues, presets, sounds, timelines, or scripts at specific times. Use schedules for recurring lighting scenes — for example, turning on lobby lights at sunset or running a show every evening.

Viewing Schedules

On the touchscreen, navigate to Main Menu > Utilities > Schedules to see the list. Select one to modify its settings, or choose Add to create a new schedule.

Schedules list

In the Web UI, go to Lighting > Schedules. The list shows all schedules with their enabled/disabled status. Click a schedule name to edit it.

Schedules are triggered on whole minutes (e.g., 8:00:00, 8:01:00).

Delete Schedule will remove the schedule from the system. Note that changes don’t take effect until you exit the settings screen.

Sunrise and Sunset Times

Instead of a fixed time of day, a schedule can start and/or end at the calculated sunrise or sunset for your location — for example, turn lights on 30 minutes before sunset and off 30 minutes after sunrise. The times are calculated on the device itself, so no internet connection is required, and they automatically track the seasons and daylight saving time.

Sunrise/sunset schedules are configured in the Web UI schedule editor:

  1. Set the device location first, under Device > System — see Device Location.
  2. In the schedule editor, change Start (and/or End) from Fixed time to Sunrise or Sunset.
  3. Optionally enter an Offset in minutes: positive values are after the event, negative values are before. For example, Start = Sunset with offset -30 triggers 30 minutes before sunset.

While editing, the editor shows today’s calculated sunrise and sunset for your location so you can sanity-check the configuration.

Schedule editor with a sunset start and the sun-times hint

A start of Sunset with an end of Sunrise creates an overnight schedule that runs through midnight, just like fixed times where the end is earlier than the start.

Notes:

  • If no device location is configured, sunrise/sunset schedules do not run and show a Set device location for sunrise/sunset status in the schedule list.
  • Offsets can be up to ±720 minutes (12 hours). If an offset would push the time past midnight, it is limited to the same day.
  • The schedule list and status displays always show the resolved time for the current day (e.g., “Start at 8:03 PM”).

Snoozing Schedules

You can temporarily disable all schedules using the Snooze feature:

  • On the touchscreen, go to Main Menu > Utilities > Snooze Schedules for quick snooze shortcuts
  • In the Web UI, schedules can also be toggled via custom menus

Snoozing temporarily disables schedules with an auto-resume timer. The current snooze status is displayed on screen.

Duplicating Schedules

In the Web UI, you can duplicate a schedule to create a copy. This is useful for setting up similar schedules for different times or days.
