As the title says, I’m trying to turn on a switch randomly two or three times a week, on randomly changing days.
I see “Happens daily at…”
If someone has an idea I’d be grateful, it will probably involve an expression I’m guessing.
"Happens on 2/3 random days of the week..."

Could you use Wait Randomly? Seems like you could make something like what you are looking for with that, but I’ve never tried it.

That option doesn’t come as a trigger, I need this to be a continuously rolling piston you see.

I am not sure of your application, but why not just do a random 35% every day at noon?
That should fire up 2-3 days a week (on average)

Hi @WCmore
I can’t picture how a trigger of random 35% every day at noon would look, although it looks like it could help me.
Specifically I’m trying to do a vacation piston for my tv.
So every random 2 or 3 days of a week,
At a random time between 8pm and 9pm
Turn tv on, for a random time between 1 hour and 1.5 hours.

Yeah, I was just thinking you could use that to set a variable, and then fire what you want when the variable changes. Probably wouldn’t work though.

Seems like you could fire every night at 8, generate a random number 1-3, then only if it is 1, then you do a random wait, turn on, random wait, turn off something like this:
Every day at 8 pm
Do
Set irun = random(1,3)
End every
If irun is 1 then
Wait random(60) minutes
Turn on
Wait random(60,90) minutes
Turn off
End if
