[hobbit] Can't get DOWNTIME= to work

[Josh Luthman]

The DOWNTIME tag causes grief for a lot of people.  Not sure why.

Here is my working example:

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359,W:1830:0730,6:0830:2359

Expect it to be down over the weekends and after hours.  This is
because the customer shuts the device off with a circuit breaker
"switch" when they're done for the day.
