Hi,

The code below wakes up the machine (if off) at a certain date, is that what
you need?

proc main:
local switchOnTime&
local timH%,timStatus%

    rem the datetime you want the machine to switch on again
    switchOnTime&=DateToSecs(yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm,ss)

    rem setup the timer
    ioopen(timH%,"TIM:",-1)

    rem start the timer
    ioc(timH%,2,timStatus%,switchOnTime&,switchOnTime&)

    rem you can switch off the machine here with "OFF" or the user could too
    rem (which you wouldn't have been able to do with OFF n%)

    iowaitstat timStatus%

    ioclose(timH%)

    print "Machine is on, on",datim$

    get

endp

Best Regards,
