Different timers for coffeemaker

Hi all,

At the moment I have connected my coffeemaker to a ZWave outlet. With blockly I created a automation that turns the coffeemaker on if the time is 7.00 and if I am at home. That way I have my morning coffee on time.

Now I am changing jobs with an irregular schedule. Now I am looking for a way to change the time the coffeemaker should turn on more easy then logging in Domoticz erverytime (maybe it could be easy via the app?).

Or, even better, to schedule ahead for a week.

Is there an easy way to create this?

Thanks in advance!

You can make a dummy (selector) switch that defines a time. Based on the setting of the switch you can switch on the coffeemaker on a specefic time.
for example for an On/Off dummy switch: If switch is on then 5.00, else 7.00
For a selector switch you can create values:
Early shift, Late shift, Normal, etc and based on the value you have set switch on the coffee maker on a specific time.

There are also schedule additions/plugins created (mostly for heating). Perhaps that can be used too. See for example https://github.com/ArtBern/Scheduler or https://github.com/syrhus/domoticz-weekly-planning

It works! Never knew you could do that with a selector switch. Awesome. Thanks!
