    Is there a way that some rules can be executed between e.g.

    * 09 15 * * to * 03 15 * *

    meaning from September 15th to March 15th (or whatever other interval combination)?

    I am currently using exception months to control the heating system; but a more fine grained solution would be interesting (I used to do it with cron jobs before using linknx).

    I know the heating should stop as temperatures go higher; but since I close the bedroom window shutters (in case they were left open) before turning the heating on a couple hours before the kids go to bed, having the shutters close at 18h from April onwards is not optimal.

    Hi,

    Did you try with a timer like this:

    <condition type="and">
      <condition type="timer">
        <at day="15" month="9" hour="0" min="0" />
        <until day="15" month="3" hour="0" min="0" />
      </condition>
      <condition type="timer" trigger="true">
        you condition saying at which time the rule must be executed
      </condition>
    </condition>
