Unable to save and edit Rules in Roku Smart Home app
Bought a Roku plug to turn off power when not in use
I got the app find my way to schedules. All I can say is whoever designed it, must not use it because its terrible. Why can't I just go in pick days and enter times. Instead you have to create separate schedules. So I might have two schedules for one day and then you have to fumble around with scrolling through the numbers. So, I can't just type in 6:00. Instead you have to scroll through. Why?
There doesn't seem to be any way to save and when I create multiple schedules they come up with different times and even days. I create schedule 1 M-F turning on power at 6:15 AM. When I finish schedule 1 shows up with all 7 days and what look like the times I entered in the last schedule. So I select edit schedules and get a blank list of schedules, then when I manage to get them to appear, I can't edit them.
