Introduction

TDM5 allows you to create schedules for specific times and/or days. A schedule can be linked to content but also to an action like powering off your device. With this functionality you can schedule actions for events or other occasions without having to change the state of the devices manually. 

This article will describe how a power schedule can be created. 
Additional articles regarding schedules can be found in our knowledge base.

Please note that not all devices support the functionality to be remotely turned on or off.
