Cycle - repeat timer, set day(s) & start time.
(For your information, the app is written this way. Once user presses “SAVE”
button, it only sends the setting command packet to Skybridge device. Then if
user presses the activate / deactivate button (the play button) the app then
send the command to start or stop the event. So this means user can save
settings and choose when to activate/deactivate events at the desired time)
Example Setting:
Immediate Event 8am ~ 5pm
Current time 8am.
1. Select electric fireplace ON.
2. Set the delay for 9hrs.
3. Electric fireplace will turn OFF at 5pm.
(you see that the last slot is the default ALL OFF command so that means
after the delay time all devices will turn OFF)
Software command flow chart for better understanding on the logic structure.
1. Default ALL OFF icon:
As you can see there is an ALL OFF icon at the very last slot of each event and
this is to avoid devices not turning OFF as it should at the completion of each
event.
The very last “clock” icon is for the user to set the delay off time for up to 23hrs

59min, which means that the event can actually overlap to the next day if
needed.
In addition, this will actually save one event slot been used.
2. Difference between the 3 types of event (Immediate / Scheduled / Repeat)
Immediate Event →when user press the play button (turn to yellow) the
activate command will be sent and devices will turn ON or OFF (depending on
your setting). Note that the delay timer will count from the last device.
Scheduled Event →this is an onetime day based event. (so once the user
presses the play button then the event will only happen once)
APPLICATION CONTROL

Issue Date: 24/12/2019
For example:
⚫If current time Tuesday 9am, then the user must set the event timer to be
activated after Tue 9am. (i.e. Tuesday 9:01am ~ 9:05am etc..)
⚫If user sets the time at Tuesday 8:45am~8:55am then activated the event,
immediately the device will turn ON then OFF straight away as the software
thinks the time has gone past but still needs to execute the command.**
The reason for device to turn ON and OFF immediately is to let the user
know that the time they’ve set have gone past which means the following
Tuesday will not execute since it is an onetime event only. (If the ON then
OFF device status is not shown then the user may think that the following
Tuesday the event will be executed but in real life it won’t).
⚫If user sets the time at Monday 8:45am then the event will be executed the
following Monday.
⚫If user sets the time at Tuesday 9:01am then the event will be executed on
the same day at 9:01am.
Repeat Event →this is an ongoing event and will not stop until user presses the
play button to deactivate the event.
⚫The setting logic is exactly same as to scheduled event however the
difference is the user can select the days of the week to execute the events.
