Add and edit schedules

With schedules you can automate the behavior of the lighting depending on a specific event. The event types are:

Regular day: a 24-hour schedule that occurs often, for example normal weekdays or weekends.
Special day: a 24-hour schedule that occurs only one time. A special event can span multiple days and can be used for opening hours that are applicable for special occasions, for example during a special season.
Holiday: one or more recurring days that allow for their own 24-hour schedule, for example (national) holidays (site can also be closed).

When schedules differ per day or between weekdays and weekends, you need to create specific schedules for these days.
