Scheduling lights to automatically switch on and off provides a convenient way to automate light routines such as for plant grow lights or lights for homes or businesses.

This topic takes the Light Source-D007P control panel as an example to describe the cycle timing features. The interface might slightly vary depending on specific panels.

Feature description

Schedule smart lights to automatically turn on or off for a specified time period on a weekly basis.

Options to create a schedule:

  • Cycle timing: used to select whether a schedule runs once or on a recurring schedule. Users can select the day(s) of the week they want a schedule to run. If no day is selected, the schedule runs only once.
  • Opening/closing time: used to specify how long the ON or OFF state lasts in a schedule.
  • Custom color: used to set the default color and brightness when the light comes on in a schedule.

Usage example

Create a schedule to run between 06:00 to 11:00.

  • The schedule recurs every day from Monday to Sunday.
  • The opening time and closing time are two hours and one hour respectively.
  • The custom color is magenta.

Every day, the light comes on in magenta at 06:00 for two hours and then comes off for one hour. It repeats this lighting pattern until 11:00 and the task ends with the state before the schedule starts.
