For example, you may want an automation to only process during business hours. Or only on weekends.

To not run an automation for a certain day, set the start and stop times to the same values.

The execution window duration for a day must be at least as long as the automation's polling rate to ensure the automation gets executed at least once for that day.

Note that the automation's countdown timer in the dashboard represents the time until the system next checks to see if the automation should be executed. When the system wakes up the automation, it first checks to see if your execution window criteria is met or not. The dashboard's countdown timer does not calculate whether or not the interval falls within your execution windows.
