Time Automation via Cron Job

This feature enables the device to execute specific commands at specific, user-defined times. The functionality corresponds to the Cron service known from UNIX. Any command-line function can be executed. This means that all features can be controlled based on a schedule.

You can find the settings for the cron table under Date / Time > Configuration.
