Introduction
TDM5 allows you to create schedules for specific times and/or days. A schedule can be linked to content, but also to actions such as powering off your device. This functionality lets you automate actions for events or other occasions without needing to manually change the device’s state.
This article explains how to create a power schedule.
Additional articles about scheduling can be found in our knowledge base.
