Hi All,  
I would like to know is it possible to enable / disable a node, using dashboard switch node?  
For example: If I am using _ **timerswitch** _ node for different schedules of ON/OFF function, at some point of time I would like to use a manual control using a switch node, So if I turn ON that switch, the timerswitch node function should disable.

Thanks In Advance

No.

But that node seems to have its own mechanism for doing what you want
