HOW IT GETS EXECUTED
THE DIAL IS THE PLAN. THIS IS THE EXECUTION.

An ordinary timer cannot hold the schedule you just built. A timer repeats every 24 hours by definition. A cycle that does not add up to 24 shifts a little every calendar day, so somebody has to re-arm it at every transition, at a different hour each time. Supercycler does that on its own, and keeps the record of the transition it actually confirmed — which is the part that makes a run reproducible instead of anecdotal.

RECOMMENDED

The app computes every transition, sends it to the device and writes down the one that came back confirmed. Nothing depends on the phone staying awake: the schedule lives on the server.

  • Counts SC, completed supercycles, next to the calendar day. Two grows on different periods are only comparable by SC.
  • The light action log keeps the expected transition beside the confirmed one, so adherence can be checked afterwards.
  • It warns you when changing the cycle mid-grow flips the state of the light at that very instant, and asks you to confirm.
  • Sunrise and sunset ramps on dimmable fixtures, and a seasonal drift if you want the schedule to breathe.

The timer inside the device

PARTIAL

A schedule saved into a Shelly or a Sonoff repeats every 24 hours. A 26 h cycle does not fit in it. You can force it with a one-shot timer re-armed at every transition — which is exactly the work the app takes off your hands.

WHAT THIS LAYER IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR

The blackout. Shelly and Sonoff switch locally, so if the internet drops the pending transition still fires. That is why Supercycler prefers them and sends the timer glued to the command instead of trusting the connection to be there later.

By hand, or a digital timer

HOW IT ALL STARTED

It works, and it is how the first supercycles were run: this very table, printed, and somebody re-programming the timer. It is worth knowing, and it is worth knowing where it breaks.

  • It never lands at the same hour. Every transition falls at a different clock time, including the ones at four in the morning.
  • A blackout puts you out of phase silently. The timer restarts from where it feels like and nothing tells you the cycle moved.
  • Nothing gets written down. With no record of what actually happened, the run cannot be replicated or audited — and a supercycle you cannot show is an anecdote.
WHY THE LOG IS THE POINT

The controlled trial running since 1 September 2026 compares four periods — 24, 26, 27 and 28 h — with clones paired across the arms. What lets anyone check that each room really ran its period is not a promise: it is the log of expected against confirmed transitions. That is the same log any replication needs, which is why the tooling stopped being optional.

SEE THE TRIAL

This page is the project's original calculator, from when a supercycle was programmed by hand. It stays because the dial explains the idea better than a paragraph does. The execution lives in Supercycler.

Supercycler is part of the Supercycle HYVE infrastructure and is continuously updated as new timing technologies and execution protocols are validated.
