Hello Andy,

I use to remote power my amp power supply on and off from elsewhere in
the house or remotely. It would be very handy if there were also a
basic "Stay On" "Turn Off" function rather than having to type in
start and finish times. A minor thing, but if it were really easy to
implement.... :) Again thanks for this very useful app which has many
uses.
