    5 ways:

    a) Power switch with timer (not a CBUS product)

    b) Touch screen

    c) Programmable Timer module

    d) Homegate

    e) WISER

    If you purchase a CBUS touch screen with logic it can be programmed to handle events based on the time of day. Not all touch screens have logic.

    Hello kirankumar
    The feature you are looking for is called schedules.

    The CBus devices with schedules are programmed with software called Piced.
    http://www2.clipsal.com/cis/technical/downloads

    You can create a project with schedules using this software.
    The project can then be uploaded to a PACA or touch screen device of the type you selected when you created the project.

    Piced software can also connect to your CBus network via whatever method you are using to connect CBus Toolkit.
    You can then run the schedules or other features directly from the software.
    This is to allow testing but the CBus connection is programmed to disconnect after about 48 hrs.

    Homegate software is almost the same as Piced but it is designed to be run all the time from a PC rather than rather than just for creating a project to upload to some other device.

    Both are free to download but Homegate has a much shorter timeout and requires the purchase of a USB dongle key for continuous operation.

    You could download Piced and have a look.
    It contains sample projects, manuals and extensive help files.
