How to set up the timer?

[seanchs]

Apologize for posting this question here since I can't find an appropriate place for questions.

I understand the 5.14 can set up timer for Tasmota (I am using Sonoff Basic). However, I tried to set it up but it won't work. I looked through the wiki and release note but I am not very coding savy to figure it out. What I am trying to do: 1) Turn on the switch at 7:25am every morning 2) Turn off the switch after 30 minutes or at 7:55am

Highly appreciate any help in advance!

When you set the timer you need to make sure you have the ARM box ticked. Also it is important that the Sonoff obtains the correct time from the NTP server.

Thanks Lawrencezarb and Frogmore42. I searched the discussion group but no luck. I'll post this question in the discuss group.

Hi, seems to be a problem in your configuration.

Please provide the output of the status 0 command in the console, as the template asks. Also a screenshot of the timer configuration page.

Are you sure that your unit has the correct time. "STATUS 7" in the console window will tell you what time/date your unit thinks it is.

Hi Lawrencezarb,

My local time is: 4:17pm. With "STATUS 7", the console shows:

00:16:46 MQT: stat/SW-HotWater/STATUS7 = {"StatusTIM":{"UTC":"Fri Jun 01 23:16:46 2018","Local":"Sat Jun 02 00:16:46 2018","StartDST":"Sun Mar 25 02:00:00 2018","EndDST":"Sun Oct 28 03:00:00 2018","Timezone":1,"Sunrise":"04:50","Sunset":"20:46"}}

I guess my time is not right in Sonoff Basic. Would you mind sharing how to set the time of Sonoff Basic?

Thanks a lot,

Sean

Hi,

You have to use timezonecommand, Please read the wiki(https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands)

Hi Adrian,

Got it. I just set up the right timezone via Console. Looks like it works now. Thanks a lot.
