Calendar option

Configuration
1

Hi I’m wondering if there is or could be an option for monthly activations.

I use switch bots to turn the power on/off my solar epever controllers. What would be good if there was a way to do it with particular months as well. So when in summer the sunrises earlier that in the winter months I could fine tune my set up with days/months then set times.

Can anyone assist or gas it already been done and I’ve missed this set up.

You can trigger automations from calendar events:

Not sure if that’s the only goal, but if it is, why not use simply the sun elevation?

Hi cheers for the reply.
I use solar set up for my green houses it would be good as the year progresses to be able to adjust the power usage to the months of the year.

Like in summer months I have my switch bots turn on fans and pumps regularly. But I’d like to adjust this as the winter draws in to less activities I’m having to manually adjust this.

If there was a callander setting for example June, July pump, fans can activate from 7am till 9am with time changing over the months. Then say December 2pm till 4pm if you know what I mean.

I’m using ecowitt weather sensors for weather, lux, moisture, temperature but a monthly setup time system would be helpful as well

Would this be correct I only want the switch to activate at 10.50 on the months of September and November

The switch bot presses the button on the epever solar charger
