Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

I'm new in the automation world and choosed tasmota for being opensource. I bought a couple of refoss smart plugs and updated the firmware to the latest version.

The idea is to have a couple of smart plugs working by their own from hour n to hour m and turning on/off at random without the need of being connected to the internet.

Is there an easy way to setup an standalone (just the plug(s) and nothing more) away mode or presence simulation?. I'm getting started and I just read I have to recompile the firmware, enable scripting and then create a script in order to manage that functionality. I'm ok with doing all that, but I'd appreciate some pointers or an easier way to get to it or a way to do it without rebuilding the firmware, etc. Thanks in advance!.
