Thanks so much for this addon - one less thing to write automations forâŚ
Are the next run time or day available to display on Dashboards?
For example I am using this to schedule irrigation valves - it would be good if I could pull the next scheduled turn-on time for a specific switch on my Irrigation lovelace dashboard tabâŚ

Finally a simple scheduler! Thanks. I have always wondered why there wasnt something like this as part of HA as there are so many use cases. Tasmota have had a good schedule for years but would prefer the schedule in HA so I can build better automatons. I tried to build one but never got the UI sorted. This looks great.
@ArthurDent1975 i installed this today and what a great work!!! Thanks for fulfilling a missing part of HAâŚ
As i know you previously said that in order to change service.turn_on and service.turn_off to service.open_cover and service.close_cover requires too much work and major code change. I was thinking to myself what if a âcovers onlyâ version of Simple Scheduler exists; will it require too much work? I thought the service change will take place like instead of:
$command_url = $HASSIO_URL . "/services/" . $domain[0] . "/turn_" . $action;
$command_url = $HASSIO_URL . "/services/" . $domain[0] . "/".$action."_cover" ;
and of course some other changes to read covers only. I understand that having both service.turn.on and service.open_cover residing in the same code will be a major headache; so thatâs why i thought maybe a âcovers onlyâ version may do the work. May i kindly get your opinions on this? Thanks againâŚ
Hey, this is really great! Itâs surprising no one had invented this until now - I guess people like writing YAML each time they want to automate lights turning on or offâŚ
A couple of suggestions for the UI:
The way of inputting time could maybe use something like Lovelace: Time Picker Card
When viewing a schedule entry, the red and green circles for day are very nice. When choosing which days, it would look very nice to be able to click on the same circles, instead of checkboxes.
Finally, it would feel more integrated and be easier to use if the hamburger menu button didnât disappear when the sidebar is in âalways hiddenâ mode. If you look at the HACS integration, they figured out how to do this. The issue is that clicking the back button in the browser doesnât work very well as it runs back through everything you have done in the schedulerâŚ
Thanks again, and Iâve bought you a beer !

Thank you for your suggestions.
You are not the first one and you wonât be the last one to ask me to replace the checkbox with the circles 
This is already on my mind, but the real reason is that âclicking the circlesâ is not a real HTML form element, but it is emulated with javascript. This means that in some browser or after some device/browser update, it wonât work. The checkboxes are pure HTML, and they will work forever.
Same story for the âtime inputâ.
I also thought (because this is how it works for me) that once you set/create a scheduler, you hardly edit it. So it is so much effort and risk for a âone-timeâ input.
Hope you understand the reasons.
Thank you so much and cheers!
Itâs always the way with coding that âeasy to sayâ isnât âeasy to doâ!!
One thing I noticed on the time input this morning was that it doesnât work if you miss the leading zero on the hour. I tried a timer for 9:30 and it didnât fire, whereas 09:35 (second try, 5 minutes later), did work.
Thanks again for this great tool - for me it is an essential part of home automation and should be part of the core package.
Hi @ArthurDent1975,
My question maybe dumb, but is it possible to install your add-on on regular home-assistant as well? I could only find hass.io guidelines. It would be interesting as hass.io wont be pon the horizon for long with HA Core being the focus.
I am running docker based home-assistant, and would like to know how can i add your simple scheduler. Also I consider myself an avid developer, so i would like to also contribute in the future to your project.
Thanks,
Gyula
Not sure where you got that idea. Hassio (now just called Home Assistant) is here to stay.
Thanks @tom_l, in that case how can I add this add on on my hass ? I have the latest 0.110 docker container, but it doesnt have menu points like add-ons. So I am lost on how to enable this feature.
Not sure sorry. I run Home Assistant. It is only a docket container though. So it should be possible.
Phantastic work. Thank you!
I really like the week scheduler of my (commercial) KNX visualization. It allows to see a week schedule and you can send multiple values based on the schedule (e.g. on/off like Simple Scheduler or 1,2,3 or strings like âcomfortâ,âsleepâ, ânightâ, âoffâ). This makes is a universal week scheduler.
This is how it looks like:

Any plans to turn Simple Scheduler into a generic week scheduler?
Ciao,

The HA API allow to âturn onâ o âturn offâ to HA (letâs call it) âobjectsâ that understand this kind of action.
Basically is what you find in âservicesâ under âdevelopment toolsâ
When you say âsending valuesâ, to what service are you referring to?
Hm. I think you are right. I was thinking too much in Node-Red terms or the way my KNX gateway works, where you can for example send whatever you want in msg.payload.
For a Home Assistant scheduler it probably would make most sense to call any type of Service to make it a generic scheduler.
Hi,
I have tried install but got âFailed to install addon, [object Object]â
I am using ver 0.15
Very odd. The installation is straight forwardâŚ
Have you tried to reboot HA before install? Maybe there is something that hangs
Hi,
Could you add time zone support? I care a lot about it in my country (Poland), the add-in doesnât work at the moment ⌠
Actually, this add-on supports timezones.
You have to set the timezone in the HA settings.

It would be great if there was a way to give each schedule a description as well. I am trying to use it primarily to set the temperature of my central heating thermostat and with having different schedules depending on day of the week it gets really confusing given the device name is always the same
