I am new on Vera and the documentation on the wiki is not clear for me.
I have an outlet that i want to control I need to turn it on at 5:00am then turn it off at 10:00am, then turn it on again at 6:00pm and turn it off at 11:00 pm
But I do not have a clue on how to do it.
Could someone please help me?
Hi escabrun, welcome!!
First off, which Vera and UI are you running?
Vera2 (UI4 or UI5), or Vera3 (UI5), or Vera Lite (UI5)?
if you are using Vera 2 then u can do it easily 
just Create a Scene > Time > set up the time you want the outlet to be on at
create another scene > Time > Set up the time you want the outlet to be off at
(from the scene Command you choose whether to turn on or off you outlet…you can turn it on for 2 or 3 hours)
i think you have to create a scene and then things will be easy

@escabrun
Welcome! A good place to start isn’t the wiki (although lots of good stuff there) http://docs5.mios.com/doc.php?language=1&manual=1&platform=0&page=adding_a_scene
The docs5.mios.com may be more helpful to start with.
@PurdueGuy and @therealabdo are right in that you need to create 2 scenes. If you are using UI5 (if you are new to Vera you probably bought a Vera3 or Vera Lite) which runs the latest version (UI5). You simply create a scene with a schedule that starts at 5am each day. select your device and click ‘on’. Then add a delay for 5 hours. Now select your device again and click ‘off’. Create another scene for the on at 6 add the delay (5 hours) and select off.
Can you describe the Schedules part?
Its not clear for me how to connect schedule with specific trigger?
For example, i have a light switch. I’m creating new scene “Light”, I can create ON and OFF triggers (i guess i can edit luup event and create schedule in triggers part).
But we have Schedules section. I can create a schedule, but its possible to set only time. What about this schedule?
What will happened in this time?
Can somebody give an example? Thank you.
I’m sorry if its kind of a “noob question”, but UI5 documentation is the worst i’ve ever seen.
The “Schedules” tab is only used to start (or initiate) a scene, which can be described as a series of events.
For instance, if you have a scene that has the following:
Immediate - turn light A on
3 hours later - turn light A off
You can set a schedule, that runs this scene every day at 7 PM (this way the light turns on at 7 PM, and will turn off at 10 PM).
A trigger is another way to start (or initiate) a scene. Essentially, it means “when X happens” start the scene.
For instance, I have a “Front On” scene, which turns on all my front outside lights. I have 2 triggers set for turning on either of the main front lights. When either one is turned on, Vera will (nearly) immediately turn on the other lights.
You can have a scene that is initiated by both triggers and schedules, so in my above examples, both 7 PM (a schedule), and either main light turning on (a trigger) will initiate the scene.
PurdueGuy, thanks a lot. Now its clear
