Hi Xavier - You (quite rightly) say; "Don't blame OsmAnd". - Indeed, I don't. My purpose was to question the logic of offering a range of "Turn Off" times, without mentioning that they are (currently) not available. Your reference to https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/6675 is useful, thanks, and right down the bottom it links to #7315 <https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/7315> on which max-klaus said 2 days ago "It ... ... don't work on all devices." One can at least hope the gurus are still working on a solution for all devices. Meanwhile, I'd love to know if there is a (fairly simple) way for me to make it work on mine. Thanks PW
