Node-BLUE - timed event for specific weekdays not working like expected

English Forums Configuration
#1

Hi

I have a switch I would like to trigger on/off Mo-Fr.
for this I chose a timer where I can set on and off time. Also I connected a debug node to see the times it switches on/off.
All fields are enabled except Sa and Su.

it works fine from Tu-Th.
On Fr it will not turn off the switch
On Mo it is assuming that the switch is still switched on and will switch it off.

My problem is now that the switch also should be turned off on Friday and not on Monday.
Also the switch needs to be triggered on on Monday and not only off.

Do I need to add another node to get to this?

Hi

I did the setup ran now for one week. the observation did not change.
Every day the switch is turned on and off - except for the day before and after the days where the switch should not be changed.

Hey @jipp,

a short report: I tried to find and reproduce the error, but couldn’t. I now set up exactly your node here. Let’s see, if the error occurs now…

Cheers,

Hello @jipp,

maybe install the current nightly and check if the error still occurs. I fixed a lot of things the last weeks. I’m not at home until Friday, so next weekend hopefully I can see if the error occurred or not. Currently it correctly says:
