Chris, I think I got it! When you said I can adjust the wait times if I want it to turn on/off more frequently, I think it means that I can shorten the wait time even more so that device will turn on/off more frequently within that given time. Did I get it ?

Thank you Chris and Mark. This has to be one of the friendliest forum anywhere. Chris, your example above is beautiful. In regards to adjusting the wait times if I want it to turn on/off more frequently, I would really like to but I am really not good at programming languages. Can you please tell me what 'Repeat Every 0 seconds' does? And how do I adjust the wait times to turn on/off more frequently?

Your example shows that Appliance_1 is turned on and off once randomly within a given time. Can you show me an example to turned on and off Appliance_1 multiple times randomly within a given time?

Thank you. How about this to make Appliance_1 on and off randomly within a given time: ------------------------------------------------------ To turn on: If From Sunset For 2 hours and 2 minutes Then Wait 20 minutes (Random) Repeat 16 times (Random) Set 'Appliance_1' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ------------------------------------------------------ To turn off: If From Sunset For 2 hours and 8 minutes Then Wait 35 minutes (Random) Repeat 9 times (Random) Set 'Appliance_1' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks again.

Thank you Chris for the super fast reply. That's why people are saying you guys are the best in the indusdry. In response to the time and/or sunset/sunrise, they are correct and I have no problems. So it seems that if I check the Random box, status will show idle:true if current time falls in/between time set, and status will show idle:false if current time falls outside of time set. Is that correct?

Newbie here trying to turn a device on and off within a period of time randomly so I did this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To turn on Lamp_Hall schedule 1: If From Sunset To 11:00PM Then Repeat 16 times (Random) Set 'Lamp_Hall' On Else -No Action- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To turn off Lamp_Hall schedule 2: If From Sunset To 11:00PM Then Repeat 8 times (Random) Set 'Lamp_Hall' Off Else -No Action- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems to turn on and off but it under status it shows idle:false Been playing with this for a while but unfornately not good at any programming languages. I'd appreciate any help anyone offers. Thanks in advance.
