Hi eWeLink Team

Would it be possible to add the option when creating a scene for the scene to initiate during a certain time of the day i.e. 06:00 - 17:00 for the device(light) turn off should it be on due to the electricity being restored after an outage.

Currently there is only the option for an exact moment i.e. 06:00

Hi there, thank you for reaching out to the eWeLink team.  
We understand that you would like to have the ability to specify a time range for the scene to activate, such as from 06:00 to 17:00, in case a device (light) is turned on due to power being restored after an outage. Currently, we do have a feature that allows you to select the time period for the scene to be effective when using a smart device as a trigger. Please refer to the screenshot below:

Hi @StephenJ I cant select the device for the “If” and “Then” this is rather important as I am trying to have the scene read the device’s status during a selected period and during the 2 specific periods it sound be on/off.

Ie. If  
kitchen light is on  
Then  
Turn kitchen light off

Effective period 21:00 - 06:00

Hi there, currently not all devices can be set as trigger and action in one scene. Instead, I would like to suggest you set another device as the trigger and set the kitchen light as action.  
For example,  
If  
Room A OFF  
Then  
kitchen light OFF

Effective period 21:00-6:00
