Bigtimer - Days and month

[AcidSleeper]

Hey!
Since the documentation for bigtimer is very limited I have a question why my settings wont work.

I want Bigtimer to turn on/off the christmas tree when its between 11th of december - 10th of january. Possible?
This is my config that dont work. It still of today keep sending on / off so the dates isnt working.

Use cron-plus node-red-contrib-cron-plus (node) - Node-RED. It is the exact opposite. Very good documentation!
And doing what you want is very easy.

He has said to post the question on his blog posts that relate to Bigtimer.

How do I configure the cron-plus to send on 06:00/off 23:00 every day for 11th of december to 10th of january?

Fiddled with it but cant grasp it.

Something like that:

[{"id":"fc71f603.4322c8","type":"cronplus","z":"89990f99.a6d4e","name":"","outputField":"payload","timeZone":"","persistDynamic":false,"commandResponseMsgOutput":"output1","outputs":1,"options":[{"name":"schedule1","topic":"schedule1","payloadType":"str","payload":"On","expressionType":"cron","expression":"0 0 6 11-31 12 * *","location":"","offset":"0","solarType":"all","solarEvents":"sunrise,sunset"},{"name":"schedule2","topic":"schedule2","payloadType":"str","payload":"Off","expressionType":"cron","expression":"0 0 23 11-31 12 * *","location":"","offset":"0","solarType":"all","solarEvents":"sunrise,sunset"},{"name":"schedule3","topic":"schedule3","payloadType":"str","payload":"On","expressionType":"cron","expression":"0 0 6 1-10 1 * *","location":"","offset":"0","solarType":"all","solarEvents":"sunrise,sunset"},{"name":"schedule4","topic":"schedule4","payloadType":"str","payload":"Off","expressionType":"cron","expression":"0 0 23 1-10 1 * *","location":"","offset":"0","solarType":"all","solarEvents":"sunrise,sunset"}],"x":290,"y":2020,"wires":[[]]}]

I guess using some tricks you can reduce the number of schedule at the expense of it being less readable. So, repeat but simple.

Thanks!

Missed how I could add several days in a month!
