Schedules and automation set-up

[Magic-Mike]

I need help setting up my schedule. I had a previous one set-up under my old app and now unable to set-up or duplicate the previous one. I just need my cameras to activate between 9pm to 6am every day.

First, check that

• all cameras are armed in "Arm Away" and  "Arm Home" modes
• all cameras are disarmed in "Standby" mode.

Then set up two schedule automations.

• One to switch to "Standby" at 6 am.
• One to switch to "Arm Home" at 9 pm.

Make sure the enable list (right underneath the automation name) is set to "Arm Home, Standby" for both automations.

With this setup, you can manually switch the system to "Arm Away" when you leave on a trip, and the cameras will remain armed 24x7 until you return.  Then just switch the mode to either "Arm Home" or "Standby", and the schedule will resume.

Here are two screenshots that you can use as models (though the times don't match what you want).
