A node-red-ui time scheduler for the Node-RED Dashboard.

Default Mode	Event Mode

You can install this node directly from the "Manage Palette" menu in the Node-RED interface.
Alternatively, run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red on Linux or %HOMEPATH%\.nodered on Windows

    npm install node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler

node-red v0.19 or above
node-red-dashboard v2.10.0 (v2.15.4 or above would be ideal)

Add a time-scheduler-node to your flow. Open the dashboard, you will see an empty scheduler. Click the plus sign at the top right corner of the node to create a new timer.

You can inject timers via a msg property payload (see restoring schedules after a reboot section). If the injected msg has a property disableDevice or enableDevice the node will disable/enable the devices output. Disabling/enabling works both with device name and index.

Whenever you add, edit or delete a timer a JSON string is sent to the nodes top output. This JSON string contains all timers and settings.

Every other output (number of total outputs depends on how many devices you have added) emits true/false every 60 seconds. In Event Mode the event is only sent at the specified time. Adjusting the refresh rate, choosing if a msg.topic is sent and if messages are blocked unless the value has changed is possible within the node's options.

You can use the JSON string from the nodes top output to directly inject timers after a (re)boot or (re)deploy:

If you changed the node-red contextStorage to localfilesystem, timers are automatically saved and restored after a reboot.

Time Scheduler Demo (Default Mode)

You can find example flows and schedules within the examples folder. Easily import flows via the Node-RED flow editor:
