¶ General
Every clock has the first steps in common. Below we first describe those steps.
When you create a clock time we first give it a name:
- Give a clear name to this clock.
- Click on the arrow to continue.
We can now set the time at which our clock should perform an action:
- Here you can set the hour and minutes. Click on a field above or below the highlighted time to adjust the time, you can also use the scroll wheel of your mouse.
- Qbus Control allows us to have devices in multiple homes. These homes may be in different time zones. Therefore, it is important here to choose the time zone of the correct device.
- We can have a clock action performed once or have it performed multiple times. Here you can set this. Make your choice (1) and confirm (2).
- For a clock action we want to repeat, you can set the days here. Select the desired days (1) and confirm (2).
- Go to the next step.
The following steps will be different for each type:
