Is your feature request related to a problem?
No
How would you like the problem to be solved?
Current LLT Supports a trigger for a specific time, The ability to have a range would be awesome.
Example: between 11 pm and 7 am && When a user becomes active; Do stuff
What alternatives have you considered?
Another approach would be the ability to run an action with the Windows task scheduler

This idea isn't bad, the main issue is that currently Actions (or rather the AutomationProcessor) is designed to be even driven and stateless. This means that while a specific time (like 9:00am) is a single event that can trigger a run of Actions, a time range isn't. AutomationProcessor would need to "remember" if it already ran in a given time range, which introduces complexity, like "clearing" it's memory next day, so that it can run again.
I don't see enough value at the moment to make the architecture more complex, just for this, so I am putting this issue on hold.
I understand, thank you for reading and responding. Would running an action with command line be considered? I might be able to achieve the same results with task scheduler.
Command line parameters for LLT were or are something that was/is on the table, but there wasn't much push for it. I will see how much time I have, and consider making one for Actions only - maybe it's a good thing to start with.
