Yes....

The trick is the schedule doesn't go thru midnight..... So break your time into two parts , from 10pm to midnight and the second half from 1201 to 6am.

All of my cameras are outside my home. When I am at home, I only need my cameras operating during sleep hours. Ideally, when I am at home, I need the cameras fuctioning from about 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning (7 days/week).

My intent was to use Geofencing to trigger the "sleep time" schedule whenever I am at home.

However, I discovered a problem that the system won't recognize/accept time spans that lap over a.m. and p.m. hours.

Your response to a previous question suggested splitting it into two time slots (i.e. 9 p.m.-Midnight; and 12:01 a.m. to 6 a.m.).

But if I program a separate mode for each of the two time slots, how can I get both programmed time slots to engage each night that I am at home?

Is this even possible?

If I understand yr question;

you can ONLY have one mode running at a time..

Spitting a time frame before and after midnight is using the same mode on two different days, not a problem

The only way I made my schedule to ARM from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM

1. 11:00 PM to 11:59 PM

2. 12:00 AM to 7:00 AM

This works fine!

Your solution, setting from like 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM and 12:01 AM to 7 AM fails. I think the problem it does not like mixes the AM and PM in a schedule.

That's the way to do it.... BTW, it keeps the date changes out of the schedule and 11:59 runs thru the full min so it appears continuous
