# Schedule

The schedule allows the device to be fully active only during defined measurement periods. Outside of these periods, energy savings are achieved by switching off individual services. This extends the runtime in battery mode or when using a PV system.

## How it works

* **Schedule**: If the schedule is not activated, the device is continuously active. If the schedule is enabled, the device is only active during the defined schedule.
* **Active mode**: In the active state, the processing is running and the device generates events or controls outputs of the BMC.
* **Standby mode**: Outside the defined measuring periods, the device switches to standby mode.
  * The standby mode reduces power consumption by approx. 50%.
  * This results in a longer battery life.
  * The Internet connection remains active even in standby mode, which means that monitoring and deactivation of the schedule are possible at any time.

All times in the schedule refer to UTC+0. Users must take their local time zone and any summer/winter time changes into account.

### Configuration

* The function can be activated/deactivated via the “Schedule” tab.
* Measurement periods can be created by clicking “Add” and deleted by selecting “Remove”.
* Start and end times are defined for each period.
* Multiple measurement periods can be configured.
* Schedules can be copied and pasted between devices via the clipboard.
* Changes must be confirmed by clicking “Save schedule”.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This function is only available for devices with version **2024.2** or higher.
