Tut was es soll
Tolles Plugin, funktioniert wie es soll und ist einfach zu konfigurieren. Ein kleines Highlight wäre es noch, feste Uhrzeiten hinterlegen zu können. Es ist jedoch möglich durch definieren einer Startzeit und entsprechender Wiederholpausen (z.B. 24 Stunden) auf das gleiche Ergebnis zu kommen.
