Can I use a P100 to switch on for 25 minutes and then switch off for 7 minutes and have it repeat that pattern continuously.

  @Lebqa OK,I have it working😄

1. Set the auto power off to 25 minutes
2. Create an automation with these settings
a. Under When myPlug Turn off
b. Under Then, add Delay 7 minutes and myPlug Turn On

c. Save it

 

Make sure the automation is enabled
Switch the plug on or off and the sequence will start
 

Let me know how it goes.

  @Lebqa The hard way would be to set multiple schedules adding fixed on then off times.  With the P110 you could try creating an automation with a combination of triggers and auto swith off to achieve this. I'm going to try it with one of my spare plugs and will get back to you as it's an interesting task.
