Can I schedule Sentry Mode overnight (across midnight)?

Yes. If you set the ON time later in the day than the OFF time — for example ON at 8:00 PM and OFF at 7:00 AM — Sentry Pro automatically detects an overnight schedule and runs Sentry Mode through midnight without any extra configuration.

The schedule panel will show a confirmation: “Sentry ON overnight (crosses midnight).”

There’s no need to create two separate schedules or split the window in half. The only constraint is the 30-minute minimum gap between ON and OFF times, which prevents schedules that immediately cancel themselves.

Times are stored along with your timezone offset, so the schedule stays anchored to your home time even when you travel across timezones.
