Scheduling your device is directly linked to a specific time event. This event acts as a trigger that allows your device to automatically perform the actions you have chosen, without manual intervention each time.

In summary, this mechanism gives a connected device its ability to become autonomous and perform the right action, that is, the one you have defined, at the right time, without you needing to give it instructions every time. This is what is called its sense of "when"!

You have the ability to schedule your device to adopt a specific state at a given time, also choosing a specific day. Additionally, you can instruct it to return to another state at the end of this schedule, allowing complete and flexible management of its behaviors according to your needs.

Some devices can be configured to operate automatically either through scenarios or by using the schedules available in the heating menu. However, it is important to emphasize that the scheduling function also has a specific and complementary utility in managing these devices.

It is particularly interesting to opt for an individual schedule when you want to apply a simple automation to a single specific device. Indeed, scenarios and schedules can include multiple devices simultaneously, which can sometimes be excessive or inappropriate if your goal is to manage only one item. In this case, dedicated scheduling offers a more targeted and effective solution, allowing you to directly configure that single device according to your specific needs.

Furthermore, the scheduling section allows you to include several distinct schedules. You can quickly activate or deactivate these different schedules using the activation sliders in this section. This feature provides great flexibility, as it allows you to easily and quickly modify settings associated with a single device without having to intervene in more complex scenarios or schedules. This flexibility is especially useful for adapting the device's behavior according to changing needs or particular circumstances.

1 - Launch the Enki app by selecting the "" icon from the list of apps installed on your phone.

2 - Find your device on the main page of the "Home" tab in the Enki app, then click on it to access its control page.

3 - On the control page, please click on the "Schedules" tile displayed on the screen. You will arrive at the schedule listing screen.

4 - Two options are available if you have an Android phone. However, for iOS users, only the first option is accessible:

Please click on "Add a schedule" located at the bottom of your screen.

Click the add button "" located at the top right of the screen.

5 - To begin, it is essential to give your schedule a name. This step is crucial because it will allow you to easily and quickly identify the action this schedule will perform later.

To do this, start by clicking on the field titled "Name". This field is specifically designed for you to enter the name of your choice.

Then, type the name you wish to assign to your schedule.

Once you have entered the name, click the confirmation symbol located at the bottom right of your keyboard. This action will validate your entry and dismiss the keyboard from the screen.

6 - To set the start time of your schedule, begin by clicking on the tile titled "Start time". Once this action is done, you will have three distinct options to precisely set when your schedule should start:

Time: This option allows you to select a fixed and precise time. The schedule will then be based on this determined time to activate. This is an ideal method if you want your system to begin operation at an exact moment, without variation linked to natural conditions.

Dawn: This option corresponds to sunrise. By choosing this alternative, you can set a specific delay that will allow the schedule to start either exactly at dawn or some time before or after this moment. This offers additional flexibility, especially useful if you want your actions to start based on natural morning light.

Dusk: This third option relates to sunset. It allows you to schedule the start based on dusk, with the possibility to choose a time interval before or after this precise moment. This is a particularly practical feature to adapt the schedule to seasonal variations in day length, ensuring optimal operation in the evening.

"To illustrate a concrete example in this tutorial, we will take as a starting point the start time corresponding to dusk. We will then specify that the schedule should start 01:00 before this precise moment.

In summary, this means the schedule will be triggered one hour before sunset, allowing anticipation of events linked to this time of day."

7 - It is now time to determine the state your device should be in when the schedule starts. To do this, you must click on the tile titled "Device state". Once this action is done, a new page will appear, presenting the different possible states from which you can choose. These options allow you to simply configure the initial behavior of your device according to your specific needs:

The desired temperature. 

"In the example above, regarding the connected radiator, we will select the state for the desired temperature at 21°C.

For now, we can draw a first conclusion regarding this initial step. Indeed, if we do not activate the end of schedule, then our schedule will be executed automatically every day one hour before sunset. This action will aim to change the state of the connected radiator, setting it to the desired temperature state at 21°C."

9 - To set the end time of your schedule, start by clicking on the tile titled "End time". Once this action is done, you will have three distinct options to precisely set when your schedule should end:

Time: This option allows you to select a fixed and precise time. The schedule will then be based on this determined time to finalize the schedule. This is an ideal method if you want your system to end its operation at an exact moment, without variation linked to natural conditions.

Dawn: This option corresponds to sunrise. By choosing this alternative, you can set a specific delay that will allow the schedule to end either exactly at dawn or some time before or after this moment. This offers additional flexibility, especially useful if you want your actions to end based on natural morning light.

Dusk: This third option relates to sunset. It allows you to program the end of your schedule based on dusk, with the possibility to choose a time interval before or after this precise moment. This is a particularly practical feature to adapt the schedule to seasonal variations in day length, ensuring optimal operation in the evening.

"To illustrate a concrete example in this tutorial, we will take as the endpoint the end time corresponding to a fixed time. We will then specify that the schedule should end at 23:30.

In summary, this means the schedule will always end at 23:30, which allows precise regularity in stopping the schedule."

10 - Finally, you must determine the state your device should be in when the schedule ends. To do this, you must click on the tile titled "Device state". Once this action is done, a new page will appear, presenting the different possible states from which you can choose. These options allow you to simply configure the final behavior of your device according to your specific needs:

 The desired temperature. 

"In the example above, regarding the connected radiator, we selected the state 18°C.

For now, with the defined parameters, we can draw a second conclusion regarding this intermediate step. Our schedule will be executed automatically every day one hour before sunset. This action will aim to change the state of the connected radiator, setting it to the desired temperature state at 21°C. Then, to end the schedule at 23:30, the connected radiator will be set to the desired temperature state at 18°C."

11 - Scroll down to the section titled "Day of the week" if you are using an Android device, or the section "Recurrence" if you are on iOS. This step is essential to access scheduling options related to specific days of the week.

By default, when you arrive at this section, all days of the week are automatically selected. This means the schedule you define will apply every day, without exception, unless you modify this selection.

If you want your schedule to be active every day, there is no need to click on any particular day; just leave the selection as is, with all days checked. However, if you prefer your schedule not to run on certain specific days, you must click on those days to deselect them. This action allows you to precisely customize the days when the schedule will be active or inactive, according to your needs.

12 - To conclude this step, all that remains is to save the schedule you just configured.

To perform this save, you must locate and click the button titled "Save", which is at the bottom of the screen. This button is designed to validate and keep all the changes you have made.

Once you click this button, the schedule will be successfully saved. Then, you will be automatically redirected to the main schedule list, where you can view all existing schedules or create new ones if necessary.

Two options are available depending on your phone type, whether Android or iOS:

Android: Please click the add button "" located at the top right of the screen.

iOS: We invite you to click on "Add a schedule", located below your existing schedules.
