This turorial tutorial shows how to setup a schedule in Web Manager. To To make the example more realistic, we will create schedules for a heating system.
We imagine to have a room, a thermostat, a switch for the heating system and a condition that the room should hold a specific temperature. The temperature information comes from a Server Item and the switch to turn on/off the heating will also be a Server Item.
