After latest Software APP update on iOS, Spotlights not available to place in Schedule

Firmware: 3.2.51 Hardware: AL1101r4t

After latest Software APP update on iOS, Spotlights not available to place in Schedule. The lights and bridge are showing in the devices, and I can turn each light on individually in the app. Therefore, the lights and connectivity with the app are working after the upgrade.

Is there a way I can schedule these when to go on and react to motion as I have had working for many years until this update?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, you can include the lights in schedule automations. General info on that is here:

If you need more tailored advice, please give the details on what schedule you want (for all lights and cameras).

Thank you for the article. It appears all of my previous custom schedules block or work against (rather than alongside) the new automations in the app. I've recreated some of the schedules under the automations section and testing so far seems ok.

Now to work out how to schedule the automations to kick in at specific times rather than handling it manually.
