Schedulers
Schedulers can be used on the Polar Portal to set timers and triger outputs based on time of day. The actions can be repeated hourly, daily, weekly and can be used in a wide variety of applications. From turning water pumps on and off based on times of day to switching generators to standby during the night to save fuel.
This document will provide the necissary information on how to setup and use the schedulers function on the Polar Portal.
To begin, navigate to the specific device’s dashboard that the scheduler needs to be set on.
Using the tabs at the top navigate to the “Schedulers” tab
Once here there will be options on the top right

With the configurations its possible to shedule an output for almost any requirement
Below this one will have a written representation of what the scheduler is going to do and a list of timelines for the next 5 trigger events
Finally we need to select the action to perform on the trigger. This action is linked to the outputs currently enable on the device you creating the schedule on. If the button or output is not in the list its most likely not enabled on the live screen of the device.
