I am contemplating modifying some stuff so I can have a GUI to edit a schedule.

But I can't find a node to do quite what I want.

The best one so far is: `node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler` but it just doesn't quite do all I need.

I need to add new events as needed and also control the payload to be sent.

Suggestions?

As it is I do all that at the edit level. Which isn't a _deal breaker_ but it is (sometimes) annoying.

I'm using the [node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler) as well.

I don't think there is a way in NR that you can add new events in the UI but you most certainly can modify the payload.

I'm controlling all my light events with this UI... you can see that I'm using the EVENT mode and able to update the duration of all my pre-defined events in that UI.

Example:  
Event=\> Light.Bedroom  
@17:43 (time is defined by SUNSET event) my light-ON duration for Bedroom is set to 10min  
@19:05 (time is defined by NIGHT event) my light-ON duration for Bedroom duration is set to 20min

I control all my lights that way. It works great form me

Could you post the code for that?

Have fun 😉 this is a sample on how I control the lights.

- Lights can be switched on by Motion Sensor or by Light Switch
- The lights will stay-on for the assigned duration
- the duration will be reset if another motion occurs (so the light does not go off if somebody is still in room)
- The duration is pending on the time of day (longer in the evening and only short time between midnight and morning)

Thanks, but.....

Can I add new items from the GUI side of things?

That is another thing which is _killing_ me.

I have just thought of one way to address that, but it is a bit messy.

You do have the option to input new events via JSON but you have to adhere to the given format. Additionally , i'm unclear on how you want to respond to these new events ... as they are not in your flow

Yeah, but that isn't done from the GUI side of things.

Your example works fine for what you have.

Alas mine, the number of lights to be controlled can vary. Ones taken out, new ones added.

So it NEARLY does what I want, but not quite.

I may have to go with an option of which I thought where I make _more than enough_ entries and ....

That doesn't work, as I can't rename the entries to reflect their function.

😕  
Work in progress.

(If you are still reading this)

This is what I have got for a re-think of how to do what I want.  
Yes it isn't as _compact_ as it would be if I used the other nodes.  
But if I add a new event, all I need to do is just copy the _3_ nodes and create a new _entry_ on the GUI.

So this is what I have as an idea:

```auto
[{"id":"d3038088ab491321","type":"ui_text_input","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"","label":"TIME PICKER","tooltip":"","group":"5b9d4910cec81bcd","order":3,"width":"3","height":"1","passthru":true,"mode":"time","delay":300,"topic":"topic","topicType":"msg","x":480,"y":1180,"wires":[["19a76fba46bd82f0"]]},{"id":"19a76fba46bd82f0","type":"ui_dropdown","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"","label":"","tooltip":"","place":"Select option","group":"5b9d4910cec81bcd","order":4,"width":"3","height":"1","passthru":true,"multiple":true,"options":[{"label":"Monday","value":"Monday","type":"str"},{"label":"Tuesday","value":"Tuesday","type":"str"},{"label":"Wednesday","value":"Wednesday","type":"str"},{"label":"Thursday","value":"Thursday","type":"str"},{"label":"Friday","value":"Friday","type":"str"},{"label":"Saturday","value":"Saturday","type":"str"},{"label":"Sunday","value":"Sunday","type":"str"}],"payload":"","topic":"topic","topicType":"msg","x":650,"y":1180,"wires":[["82a9564f77ab4858"]]},{"id":"69174c2ef8941e36","type":"cronplus","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"","outputField":"payload","timeZone":"","outputs":1,"options":[],"x":820,"y":1180,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"5b9d4910cec81bcd","type":"ui_group","name":"Group 4","tab":"59bbef31.24f568","order":4,"disp":true,"width":6},{"id":"59bbef31.24f568","type":"ui_tab","name":"Scheduler Demo","icon":"dashboard","order":37,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

```

So I _create_ an event and send that into the `cron-plus` node.  
But I'm not with it (though I in typical style do it after I post the question) on how to create the message to send into the `cron-plus` node.  
Multiple days are allowed.

Only for the sake of clarity the message for the selected day/s is the name.  
That can - of course - be changed.

The other thing that is stumping me is how to concatenate the time and _day of the week_ message/s.

But I think a `join` node would suffice there.

Andrew, it might be better to describe what features you want.

example 1: [Timelinepicker for Node-Red in Dashboard? - #4 by Steve-Mcl](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/timelinepicker-for-node-red-in-dashboard/36910/4)

example 2: [Dynamic cron schedules / timers via dashboard control (flow) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/79a66966a6cc655a827872a4af794b94)

cron-plus is pretty much limitless in what you can do with it but great flexibility can sometimes make things (seem) more complex.

Status quo I have this _dashboard_:

 ![Screenshot from 2021-09-10 08-17-40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/4/2/4230a81e8dd973867a049f9823b7852ea1873819.png)

This is not quite all that is in the flow.  
There is an `inject` node.

This is a list of shows I watch.

The buttons simply _inject_ a value which changes the channel if I am _ahead_ of the event.  
(This is seldom used but is there to also indicate to me which ones I have _active_.)

Otherwise, the `inject` node injects the value at the desired time.

That's where the problem is/happens.

If the time changes I have to go in and edit the `inject` node manually.  
I want to edit the time (and day) via the GUI.

the `switch` node to the right of the button is there if - for what ever reason - I want to disable that _event_ for some days.

So I want to be able to set a time and _day of the week_ (multiple days allowed) so it sets when the _event_ happens.

I have this bit of code, but....

```auto
[{"id":"d3038088ab491321","type":"ui_text_input","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"","label":"TIME PICKER","tooltip":"","group":"5b9d4910cec81bcd","order":3,"width":"3","height":"1","passthru":true,"mode":"time","delay":300,"topic":"topic","topicType":"msg","x":340,"y":1320,"wires":[["29d55ed3809edc39"]]},{"id":"19a76fba46bd82f0","type":"ui_dropdown","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"","label":"","tooltip":"","place":"Select option","group":"5b9d4910cec81bcd","order":4,"width":"3","height":"1","passthru":true,"multiple":true,"options":[{"label":"Monday","value":"Monday","type":"str"},{"label":"Tuesday","value":"Tuesday","type":"str"},{"label":"Wednesday","value":"Wednesday","type":"str"},{"label":"Thursday","value":"Thursday","type":"str"},{"label":"Friday","value":"Friday","type":"str"},{"label":"Saturday","value":"Saturday","type":"str"},{"label":"Sunday","value":"Sunday","type":"str"}],"payload":"","topic":"topic","topicType":"msg","x":360,"y":1370,"wires":[["ab5b4c9e0a3a7990"]]},{"id":"29d55ed3809edc39","type":"change","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"set msg.time","rules":[{"t":"move","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"time","tot":"msg"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":510,"y":1320,"wires":[["d12b994634e02873"]]},{"id":"ab5b4c9e0a3a7990","type":"change","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"set msg.day","rules":[{"t":"move","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"day","tot":"msg"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":510,"y":1370,"wires":[["c4db5a59c79f4b70","5fd2036054ce8e61"]]},{"id":"d12b994634e02873","type":"moment","z":"2074fa2103de0d09","name":"","topic":"","input":"time","inputType":"msg","inTz":"Australia/Sydney","adjAmount":0,"adjType":"days","adjDir":"add","format":"HH:mm","locale":"en-AU","output":"time","outputType":"msg","outTz":"Australia/Sydney","x":700,"y":1320,"wires":[["ab7b6585c4c5a9f9","19a76fba46bd82f0"]]},{"id":"5b9d4910cec81bcd","type":"ui_group","name":"Group 4","tab":"59bbef31.24f568","order":4,"disp":true,"width":6},{"id":"59bbef31.24f568","type":"ui_tab","name":"Scheduler Demo","icon":"dashboard","order":37,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

```

The `TIME PICKER` node is giving me grief. (Old problem again) I enter the desired time, but what it shows and what I get are .... very different. So that is painful trying to get it working.

Then a message is _created_ and sent to a/then `cron-plus` node.  
But that is a long way ahead of where I am just now.
