    I have flashed openbeken 1.18.189 on a smart plug with BK7231 BL0937.
    The device is running and I can meter power.
    What I can't find though is how to schedule timers.
    Is there something like the timers on tasmota also with openBK?
    I don't have any MQTT or home automation infrastructure running.
    And I thought I could set timers, just like with my tasmota devices.
    Also, I can't find a way to control the smart plug through Alexa with voice commands which was very easy with tasmota and which is important to me, because I am bound to a wheelchair.
    AI: Could you please share the brand and model of your smart plug?
    It's a no-name model.
    AI: Have you already tried any specific steps or settings in OpenBK to enable Alexa integration or set up timers, and if so, what have you tried so far?
    I have looked in the config and in the webapp but can't find any timer or scheduler menus there.

    Clock events can be currently added via addClockEvent command https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/find.php?q=addClockEvent
    Docs: https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/commands.md
    As per Alexa, I think Wemo driver may work - Hue is as far as I know unfinished.

    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    Enabling the Wemo driver and creating an autoexec.bat with the timer commands did it.
