+#### Hours
+
+The hours that you require for the sensor to find. This should be in decimal format and represent 30 minute increments. For example 30 minutes would be `0.5`, 1 hour would be `1` or `1.0`, 1 hour and 30 minutes would be `1.5`, etc.

 #### Offset
 
 You may want your target rate sensors to turn on a period of time before the optimum discovered period. For example, you may be turning on a robot vacuum cleaner for a 30 minute clean and want it to charge during the optimum period. For this, you'd use the `offset` field and set it to `-00:30:00`, which can be both positive and negative and go up to a maximum of 24 hours. This will shift when the sensor turns on relative to the optimum period. For example, if the optimum period is between `2023-01-18T10:00` and `2023-01-18T11:00` with an offset of `-00:30:00`, the sensor will turn on between `2023-01-18T09:30` and `2023-01-18T10:30`.
