Basic Programming↑
After adding the block, a time function can be selected in its properties.
When setting a specific time, it is entered in the format hh:mm:ss.
The pulse is executed daily, also when time functions such as sunrise are selected.

If the option one-time pulse is selected, then a date must also be set. The pulse will then be executed only once on the set date.
This option is not available for all time functions.
