Using REC:
• Timers
* REC has 3 kinds of timers: Countdown, Anti-theft and Schedule
* We use military time for these timers: left side is the “On” time with the hour and minute, and right side is the “Off” time with the hour and minute.
* You may have up to 16 timers for each switch.
* Once Anti-theft time is active, Countdown and Schedule timers will be deactivated.
* By default, a timer will only work once and become inactive (greyed out) after its action. If you want a timer to work repeatedly, you should set “Repeat day” on the Schedule page.
* Note: make sure a timer does not cross days. For example, if you want your switch to be on at 10:00 PM (22:00) on Friday night and off at 5:00 AM (05:00) on Saturday morning, you should set two different timers: one is ON at 22:00 of Friday and the other one is OFF at Saturday 05:00. You cannot set one timer that is ON at 22:00 and OFF at 5:00 on Friday or Saturday.
