the scheduler is just a trigger, not state machine. to turn them off after 2 hours you use the “Timer” function (moon symbol in UI, configurable in settings). I am sure you can activate that through a preset (check JSON API) and add that preset as the first one in a playlist. Presets can be just any supported JSON command. ---

oh i understand. What function will have the entry in the minutes field? How i can create a preset to “start on sunrise” or “switch off after 2 hours”? If i click on the moon, i get only this message ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/wled/original/2X/b/b3a097e7ce3990cd5b278d1c88832da805f29eca.png) I have no fields or settings!? ---

Timer, AKA “nightlight” has a configuration (duration, type, etc) in LED settings. It is also documented in [KB](https://kno.wled.ge). ---

If you are also running Home Assistant you could use an automation from within HA to turn on/off lights and presets. ---

Thanks a lot for me it will help to understand, how i can turned the stripes out. I cannot find a preset or something else. What i have to do to turn the stripes at the end of a playlist out? Also how can i create a timer, as is wrote i cannot see a settingpage for the timer (moon) function - how it works? @blazoncek what is “AKA” and how i can find the “nightlight” preset? ---
