Manually enter exact times about node-red-contrib-light-scheduler HOT 5 OPEN

Hi,

This is currently not planned since it will make it hard to manage the schedules graphically in that case.

It would help to understand what situation / problem that you are trying to solve by having more exact timing?

Hello Niklas,
I was trying to realise a wakup-light with it and didn't want it to start at one of the given times. I managed to workaround using delays afterwards...
But just in general... I guess it would be nice to be as flexible as possible when entering times, don't you think?
I think the UI with dragging out the times is nice and you get a great overview for the whole week, but a fallback to manually enter times would just be awesome. Maybe right-click on a timeslot and select edit or so?!? Then bringing up a menu where the user can enter the times using the keyboard?

Hi,

Yes, I agree that it would be nice to be able to specify the time down to a minute. It's mainly a question about getting the UI as usable as possible so that it's both simple and still very flexible.

I will try to come up with a good way of realizing that and see how much work it is.

Hey...
do you have an iOS or macOS device? Maybe have a look at the calendar app there. You can also drag out a new appointment, but then double click it to get detailed information in a popup.
Have a great day!
Cheers, Georg

Btw. I think the whole widget is great!

This seems like the what the inject node is designed to do.
