Possible to keep a light on all the time?

Open ToMoHH opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

I use the node for multiple lights to simulate presence. Everything works as expected. But there is one light that I would like to keep on all the time. But I can't do that. Is it even possible? Withn following settings, the light switch off before 09:00:

  • window: 08:00-09:00
  • on times: min1 max1
  • on min duration 0
  • on max duration 10 hours
  • first block: on
  • last block: off

Hello @ToMoHH,

The specific use case you mentioned isn't supported. The algorithm mandates at least one ON and OFF block, and it automatically shortens the ON block by 10% if there's insufficient time for an OFF block.

But why would you like to have presence-faker control your always-on light in the first place?

The node is practical because I inject the dynamic values via the payload. For the sake of simplicity, I wouldn't like to use different nodes, that just makes it more complicated. but thank you for your quick feedback
