Timers can be used to truly automate your house with LightwaveRF. You can easily set an event, a mood or a device to switch on/off/dim/start/open/stop/close at any time and to repeat this on set days or months.
Note: Instruction images relate to previous app version, some steps may differ
To setup a timer:
Tap the Timers tab at the bottom
Tap the + icon at the top right
Choose the device/mood/event you want to add by tapping the bullet point at the left hand side so a red and white tick icon appears
If selecting a device, also choose the status you want the selected device to go to at the right hand side - on, off, dim %, open, stop, close
Tap 'Done' at the top right
Tap ‘Set Start Time’
Choose the time you would like the timer to run at. Tap Done near the bottom when the time is set

Timer Information
You can store 32 timers
If you are applying multiple timers for the same day or for the same product, consider using an event instead
You can pause a timer by selecting it in the list of timers then tapping Pause. Paused timers appear pink in the list of timers. To activate it again, select it in the list of timers and tap ‘Activate’.
To have a timer start at random, you must use an event. The first step in the event can essentially be a ‘dummy’ step, just to start the timer. You can set a random delay after this step that will be a random delay before the ‘real’ first step. For example, to turn your lights on randomly at night, first set an event with step 1 as lights off then a random delay before step 2 is lights on. As your lights will already be off the timer will begin without actually doing anything
