Hi, does anyone else experience that BigTimer does not turn off at Sunday midnight? All other times and days are working fine for me. I could solve it by moving the OFF time to 23:45 and add a 15m Delay, but that's not nice. Thx, Z

[image] zoltansz: how I can find it or on the UI as I have no access to the command line. No idea on how to find the nodejs version without CLI access. Do you have access to the node-red logs? If so then it is in the node red startup log. Otherwise ask the system administrator. The bigtim…

Node-RED: 1.1.3 BigTimer: 2.4.0 I'll have to ask the Admin for the nodeJS version. In the meantime I configured a test this evening: 21:00-00:00, but no schedule for tomorrow. We'll see.

I just read your edit: You haven't said whether the +2 hours makes it trigger at 22:00 UTC or at 02:00 UTC. It is not clear to me from the spec which it is. The host runs at UTC and my local time is UTC+2 so I added +2 hours. The schedule 21:00-00:00 is 9PM to midnight local time and on every ot…

@scargill . Peter, do you have any comment on this?

Taking a brief look - my timers (several of them) operate correctly - tested both back in the UK and here in Spain. Not sure what else I can say...

I am wondering whether it could be either the event at midnight where the next day is not enabled, confusing the algorthim into thinking that it should not generate the event due to the ambiguity between midnight at the end of the day and 00:00 at the start of the next day. Or alternatively the manu…

I studiously avoid events at midnight – i.e.00:00 the next day. Best place to discuss this is in https://tech.scargill.net under BigTimer, I don’t look in here that often. Pete

@Colin you were right. My test node yesterday sent a switch ON at 21:00, but did not switch OFF at 00:00. However, its status shows "No action today" now. This means that a switch off at midnight for a day that has no program for the following day will not issue the OFF command. At least for the "…

@scargill Thx for the info. I did not like the idea of midnight either, but the customer explicitly asked for it. Not that he would recognize the difference between 23:59 and 00:00... I'll register on your site.

Thanks and welcome – meanwhile when I get a minute I’ll check to see if adding midnight is feasible without breaking compatibility – maybe 1 minute before midnight disguised as midnight. Bigtimer actually only understands a 24 hour period beginning at 0 minutes… Pete

This is to confirm that setting off time to 23:45 with a 14 minute offset works fine. On the other hand, 23:45+15 minute offset, that is midnight, doesn't, supposing the following day has no schedule set.
