Then set <code>From Time = 00:00</code>, <code>To Time = 00:00</code> and <strong>un-check</strong> the <code>Consecutive On-Period</code> flag. This will turn on the 4 cheapest hours during the whole day, and off the rest.</p><p>You can use any time for start and end, but it is a good idea to use <code>00:00</code>, since the prices normally comes for this period.</p></div><div class="custom-container warning"><p class="custom-container-title">Outside Period, Send</p><p>Unless the period you select is 24 hours (<code>From Time</code> and <code>To Time</code> are the same), it is important what value you choose for <code>Outside Period, Send</code>. This decides whether the output is on or off during the period that is outside the selected period.</p></div><div class="custom-container danger"><p class="custom-container-title">Schedule not calculated</p><p>If you select a period for example from 10:00 to 02:00, it may not be possible to calculate before the period starts.

## Why is the best save schedule like this?
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
There may be many reasons for the best save node planning like it does. Here are some considerations:
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
- It is turning off only if it can save the `Min saving` amount in average per kWh per hour for the hours turned off, compared to the next hour that is on.
|
|
22
|
+
- It will not turn off more than `Max per sequence` hours, so it may have to stay on through the most expensive hours, if there are more than the configured number of hours until the price is low enough.

Remember that the power that is not used during the saving-period, will be used immediately after. At least, that is the idea, and the normal behavior if the power consumer is a water heater or another heater controlled by a thermostat. So, then the power would be used one of the blue hours in stead of the green cheaper hour.

Of course, if you expand the saving period from 5 to 10 hours you would save even more, but that would be a different case, and you can do that if it is ok for you to turn off for that long time.

Another alternative is to reduce the minimum saving from 0.05 to 0.001. Then the 3 first red hours would be turned off, but the last red would have to be on, in order to get one hour on until the next 5-hour period off. This would however not save you for much money, since the hour that is on is almost as expensive as the hours you would turn off.

Many people ask if there is a danger that legionella bacteria will grow and become dangerous when the temperature of the water heater is lowered. As long as the water is heated to at least 65 °C every day, or at least every week, the risk of infection is not considered significant, according to the norwegian [FHI](https://www.fhi.no/nettpub/legionellaveilederen/).

|
23

### Hours
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
Here is your dta represented per hour, as well as potential savings calculated by the tool. Negative numbers are hidden, but you can select to show them.
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
#### Input data
|
|
37

+

|

|
+
#### Saving if turned off x hours
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
There are the same number of columns as you have configured as `Max in sequence`.
|
|
43
|
+
The cells show how much you will save per hWh by turning that hour off for `x` hours,
|
|
44
|
+
starting at that hour. It is the difference between the price at that hour and the price x hours later. Click on a cell to see the cells used in the calculation.
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
#### Saving for sequence of x hours
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
These cells show how much you can save per kWh in average per hour by turning off a sequence of x hours starting at that hour. Click on a cell to see the cells used in the calculation.
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
Above the table you can select to see the average per hour or the su for all saved hours.
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
If the average per hour is less than what you have configured as `Minimum saving`, the number is red, and that sequence will not be used.
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
If the number is black, it could be used, but only if all other criteria are satisfied, and only if it saves more than any other combination.

## Something seems wrong
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
The tool is not using the same code as the node, so in case there is a bg in the node (or in the tool) the numbers may not match.
