Request to add a Validity Period or a Scheduling Mechanism for Rules to be enabled or disabled based on that schedule.
May be useful to integrate with Issue #199
Currently, there is no simple way of enabling or disabling a Rule based on Dates/Times/Schedules. Certain functions could be triggered using Timers based on Cron expressions etc., however, you may not necessarily want an operation to trigger, you just want to check a Condition during a certain period.
Examples:
Enable a Rule after Sunset and before Sunrise: Trigger a light to come on only when it is dark outside
Enable a Rule between Hours of 5PM and 7AM Monday through Friday: Ability to arm a door during non-working hours.
Disable/Enable a Rule on specific calendar dates: Send a notification or reminder of Daylight Savings
Set an Expiration Date or Time for a Rule: If you go on vacation set an alarm if doors are tripped but let the rule expire on your anticipated return.
Many More...
This functionality should be in addition to the current Condition evaluation being performed by the Rule.
