I am working through my first flows, so far I did a motion flow by following the template from the video and now I want to turn on an outlet and turn it off, I can't get it to work.

I've tried a lot of iterations and am going to come to the mountain for guidance...
Thank you in advance.
Just run the bigtimer output to the switch, switch on msg.payload. You would only need the change node if you wanted to use ONE command node. In that case you would need to specify the msg.command. But since you are using two command nodes, with the command already specified, you don't need to set msg.command.
Also, in your picture the bigtimer block is in override mode, not auto... Probably not how you usually run it, but I thought I would point that out.
Make sure the timezone and time are correct wherever you are running node-red. I see people running NR in a docker container but forgetting to set the TZ variable all the time...
To Brian's point, there are a zillion timer nodes you can use. I do use bigtimer for this, but many others would work too.
Thank you, I also had the message wrong in big timer as well, I really like this tool, now I can knock off a few more automations.
Since I've had some issues with the C7 and zWave I am trying to pull everything off of the hub I have zWave devices on, Do you think maker API his less of a load than hub connect?
