This rule can be used to trigger user-specified actions according to a defined time table. The schedule rule
is weekday based and the administrator can declare, for each weekday, a start time, an end time and after
what time the rule should be repeated.
The schedule rule can also be used to send status information or sensor values on specified weekdays at
regular interval.
