Timed Shutdown

Click on the hardware icon by the 'Device' label to bring up the selection dialog.

Select the input device you want from the drop-down list and click 'OK'.

The Network Usage trigger can be used to shutdown your computer when the network speed falls below a certain level. Enter a speed limit directly into the box, or use the up and down arrows at the side to increment or decrement the value.

The slider sets the time the usage must be below the speed limit for. Selecting a very short interval could cause a slight fluctuation in usage to prematurely trigger the shutdown, equally a long interval could mean usage spikes prevent the shutdown. Experiment to find the best values for your scenario.

Click on the CPU icon to the right of the graph to bring up the advanced options.

You can select the core you want to use from the drop-down list. If you want to use the combined usage across all cores, select the 'All' entry. Then click 'OK'.

The CPU Usage trigger can be used to shutdown your computer when the CPU usage falls below a certain level. Move the slider to set the usage as a percentage.

The second slider sets the time the usage must be below the percentage for. Selecting a very short interval could cause a slight fluctuation in usage to prematurely trigger the shutdown, equally a long interval could mean usage spikes prevent the shutdown. Experiment to find the best values for your system.

When you click 'GO', the program gets minimized to the System Tray (bottom-right hand corner of the Start Bar).

Hover over the icon to see the details of the shutdown, or left-click it to bring up the status window.

The top-left box shows the current date and time, and the top-right one shows the target date and time. The bottom box shows the remaining time till shutdown in Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds. You can click the red 'Abort' button on the right-hand side to cancel the shutdown, or close the window to continue.
