Schedule time cannot be randomized

[Thomas-Vos]

Feature request type

When creating a schedule using the REST API the time cannot be randomized.

Description

Send a POST request to /api/<username>/schedules with the following body:

{
    "name": "SOn_28_Schedule 1_JbUwF",
    "description": "28",
    "localtime": "2020-07-20T19:30:00A00:10:00",
    "time": "2020-07-20T19:30:00A00:10:00",
    "command": {
        "address": "/api/<username>/groups/28/scenes/4/recall",
        "method": "PUT",
        "body": {}
    },
    "status": "enabled",
    "autodelete": false,
    "recycle": false
}

The request should be successful. However, the random part of the (local)time (A00:10:00) is ignored. That can be seen in the source code here:

deconz-rest-plugin/rest_schedules.cpp

Lines 417 to 425 in 4154ad4

	{ // cutoff random part, A[hh]:[mm]:[ss], because this is not supported yet
	QStringList ls = time.split("A");
	if (ls.size() == 2)
	{
	DBG_Printf(DBG_INFO, "cut off random part %s\n", qPrintable(ls[1]));
	time = ls.first();
	}
	}

deconz-rest-plugin/rest_schedules.cpp

Lines 833 to 841 in 4154ad4

	{ // cutoff random part, A[hh]:[mm]:[ss], because this is not supported yet
	QStringList ls = time.split("A");
	if (ls.size() == 2)
	{
	DBG_Printf(DBG_INFO, "cut off random part %s\n", qPrintable(ls[1]));
	time = ls.first();
	}
	}

Additional context

The Hue API supports randomized schedules.

Added backlog, otherwise bot is going to bother you again.

Randomized times will be available in the next deCONZ beta release.

Thanks @ChrisHae, that's awesome! Could you link the PR when you have it ready?
