Schedule & Player
Schedule zone music play times
Rotate zones by time of day on autopilot — morning mix at open, upbeat lunch energy, a mellow after-hours zone overnight.
4 min
Before you start
- Logged in to your dashboard
- At least two zones with music selected
-
1
Open the Zone Music Scheduler
In the sidebar, click the Schedule button. The Zone Music Scheduler opens with an add-rule form, a weekly grid, and any rules you already have. -
2
Pick the zone to play
In the Zone dropdown, choose which zone’s music runs during this rule — the list shows your zone names, same as the dashboard tabs. -
3
Choose days of the week
Tick the day pills this rule applies to, or use the shortcuts:
• Weekdays — Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.
• Weekends — Sat, Sun.
• Every day — all seven. -
4
Set the time window
Set a Start and End time — the morning zone might run06:00to14:00. Overnight windows work too, like22:00to06:00for late-night sound. -
5
Add the rule
Click Add Rule. It appears in your rules list and paints onto the weekly grid so you can see your full week at a glance. Pause a rule anytime with its Active/Paused toggle. -
6
Add more rules to cover the day
Repeat for each window you want — Zone 1 (06:00–14:00), Zone 2 (14:00–22:00), Zone 3 overnight. Every rule is independent, and the music-note icon next to each rule jumps straight to that zone’s Music Selection. -
7
Launch a scheduled player
On the player device, open the Launch Display URL. It checks the schedule about once a minute and switches to the right zone’s music as each window opens.

Tips & Common Issues
- •Rules overlap? The tighter window wins — a Lunch-Rush rule (11 AM–2 PM, Mon–Fri) beats a broad Weekday rule (9 AM–9 PM).
- •Times follow the player device’s local clock — double-check the timezone on the device before trusting the schedule.
- •Gaps in the schedule keep the last-active zone on air — the music never just stops.
- •Running one zone 24/7? Skip rules entirely — the player just defaults to Zone 1.
