I want to use this code but need to add a timeframe for it to be active. for example between 5:00AM and 6:00AM Monday-Friday. Thanks

You could create a mode “between 5:00AM and 6:00AM Monday-Friday” and have it only execute in that specific mode…

Take a look at this, I have since gone to using a mode, but this is the same thing. It is alerting me during certain times of the day. I believe the time frames aren’t perfect yet, and it could be conversion between UTC, but I haven’t looked at it since I’ve started using modes.

Hopefully, that helps.
