What are "Schedules"?
A schedule is a timed event that can be used to control the state of devices.
Every device can be a member of up to 16 schedules simultaneously.
How Schedules Work
With the scheduling feature, you can automatically control your devices at fixed times without needing to be connected to the mesh network with your smartphone.
A schedule can be executed once at a fixed time or repeatedly on certain days of the week. The control action can consist of switching a group on or off (when switching on, the last state of the group is restored). A scene can also be invoked. The latter has the advantage of always calling a defined state.
You can create schedules that:
- Turn devices on or off at specific times
- Adjust brightness or colour temperature at specific times
- Set different light settings for weekdays and weekends
- Create recurring events
Schedule Types
Daily Schedules
Execute at the same time every day. Perfect for:
- Morning wake-up routines
- Evening lighting scenes
- Automatic shutdown at night
Weekly Schedules
Run on specific days of the week. Ideal for:
- Different weekend vs weekday patterns
- Office lighting that skips weekends
- Custom schedules for specific days
Time Synchronization
To ensure that all devices switch at the same time, the time is kept synchronized between them. The reference time is transmitted into the mesh network every time you connect your smartphone or create/change or activate a schedule. The app must be actively running for this purpose.
For a continuous automatic time synchronization, without the need to regularly connect with the app, please use the Häfele Connect Mesh Gateway. This can regularly retrieve the current time from the Internet and synchronize it in the mesh network.
The time control function is only available from app version 2.0 and firmware version 5.0.2. Be sure to update your devices.
