Say that I have 2 scenes, morning and evening and I want different nodes to trigger every x minutes. For the sake of the example, the Night node triggers every 5 minutes during the morning and the Evening node triggers ever 5 minutes during the evening. No nodes should trigger in the afternoon. One…

Node-red-contrib-cron-plus can do everything you need. It has lots of built in examples (ctrl+I --> examples) A lot of folks are scared off by the Cron syntax but this node has a helper & extensive tool tips. You can use one or multiple nodes. Each node can have 0, 1 or more schedules. You can se…

I've given it a try but I'm not sure it does what I want (I am quite familiar with the cron syntax) in a simpler way than with BigTimer. What I want to be able to do is stuff like 10:00 -> 12:00 : Send "Morning" every minute 12:00 -> 16:37 : Send "Afternoon" every minute 16:37 -> 20:00 : Send "A…

I was just making an example - I don't actually care about the mornings. I just want to be able to get the state of multiple, non overlapping events, in an easy way. Unfortunately Cron doesn't have syntax to express non full hours intervals. Eh. 10:30 to 11:16 Imagine a UI like a thermostat but wi…

The simple node-red-node-timeswitch (node) - Node-RED does that - I has a per minute output as well as "on the event" output. Only one timer per node instance though.
