What is needed:
Need rule.box – ask for test version!
What is explained:
1. Flow Setup
2. More nodes for similar purposes
1. Set up the flow
- Open Manage Palette in the Node-RED Editor menu .
- Click install , search for “timerswitch” and install the package “node-red-contrib-timerswitch”.
- Drag the newly installed node onto your desktop and open the settings with a double click.

- Here you can now set various on and off times for precise control throughout the day.
- Connect the output of the node to a “Digital OUT” node, for example, which means that you can use the rule.box digital with two inputs and two outputs as a freely configurable timer.
- Then confirm your flow with deploy.
2. Additional knots for similar purposes
- If you have higher demands on a timer, additional nodes are available in Node-RED. You can find this by searching for “scheduler” in the installation menu, for example.
- The “Light Scheduler” node gives you the option of configuring different times for the individual days of the week separately using a calendar sheet.

With the “Simple Weekly Scheduler” node, you have the option of automatically downloading and setting pre-defined schedules in JSON format from a server.
