What’s the best way to create a scene that when I go to bed, the Thermostat turns down to 62 then at 5am goes up to 72 for 2 hours?

I don’t want this to run daily, it has to correspond to my wife’s erratic work schedule as a nurse. It could be tuesday and thursday or Monday and Friday. I simply want a button to press on my phone that allows it to start at night (at no certain time) and start at 5am before she wakes up?

And I am so new at this Luup codes scare me.

I have a similar function that I run when I am getting up early the next day. I have a virtual switch (MultiSwitch button) that I set using one of my tablets via AutHomation. Then I use PLEG logic to fire up the heating in the morning and reset the Early-start button.

My early times vary so, instead of a fixed time, I use the VirtualClock plugin to trigger the morning heating. I can adjust the VClock’s alarm time and duration also from the tablets.

I’ve download VirtualClock but it’s less than intuitive. The website isn’t in English and learning code AND a new language won’t be easy.

How do I set up a scene using virtual clock to happen at 5am when I want it to?

How do I set up a scene using virtual clock to happen at 5am when I want it to?

Open the Set Variables tab. Enter 05:00:00 into Wake-up time. Set Alarm duration to the time, in seconds, that you want VClock to stay on after 05:00:00. Set Scene to run (ID) to the number of your scene. You can also set Days bypassed if you don’t want it to run every day. Click SAVE.

You can also use VClock as a trigger in Vera’s scene editor or in PLEG as an alternative to setting the scene ID on the plugin.

VClock has actions that can be selected for scenes and PLEG that allow the alarm time to be changed.
