Multiple PoE Downtime Schedules for a single Port
We have multiple WAX610 APs connected to GC728XP switches managed via NETGEAR Insight Pro 6.8.4.10.
We had set up daily PoE-Downtimes for all the ports serving the APs to save energy during the night (10 pm to 6 am). To save even more energy we wanted to add additional PoE-Downtimes covering the weekend, so we only power the APs during regular office hours.
We however got the message, that only one PoE-Downtime can be assigned to a certain port. If one tries to do it anyway the new PoE-Downtime is assigned to the port, but the old one isn't anymore.
Is there a way to assign multiple PoE-Downtimes to a port or to define a single PoE-Dowtime in a way that energy is saved all the time outside normal office hours (Mo-Fr 6 am to 10 pm)?

Welcome to the community!
Just to clarify, you basically want to assign two PoE Downtime Schedules on a single port where the first schedule is set from 10 PM to 6 AM during weekdays and the second schedule is set all day during weekends.
If that is the case, the following configuration is not possible since you can only assign one PoE Downtime Schedule on a certain port.

Thanks for the answer.
It would be nice, if this feature could be implemented in an upcoming version of insight, as it is a pity that extended measures to save energy like these are not possible due to restrictions of the insight surface while it would be possible to configure them directly on the web surface of the switches themselves.
