Work time

Configure UTC time windows for each module. Outside the window, the module sleeps. Inside, it runs normally. Default: 24/7.

How it works

Every module has an optional Work Time setting with Start and End fields in HH:MM format (24-hour, UTC).

  • Not set: module runs 24/7 (default).
  • Start = End: treated as 24/7 (no window).
  • Start < End (e.g. 08:00–20:00): simple daytime window.
  • Start > End (e.g. 22:00–06:00): overnight window crossing midnight.

Each module has its own independent work time — one module can run 08:00–20:00 while another runs 24/7.

Overnight crossing

When Start is later than End, the module is active from Start to midnight AND from midnight to End.

Example: setting Work Time to 22:00–06:00 means the module is active from 22:00 UTC to 05:59 UTC.

Configuration

Work Time is set per module in the module's settings panel. Enter the Start and End times in HH:MM format (24-hour, UTC). Leave empty for 24/7 operation.

Valid range: 00:00 to 23:59.

Runtime behavior

  • When a module cycle starts outside the work window, it pauses until the window opens.
  • While paused, the module checks for stop commands every 60 seconds, so it responds to manual stops within a minute.
  • Once the window opens, the module resumes its cycle immediately.
