Why don't my inverted schedule periods work together in my active time

Schedule periods in active times are "or'd" together, so combining inverted times will not create the intended behavior.

The active time combines each schedule period with a logical "OR" to determine if the active time is active or not active.

The following creates an active time that is always active:

The following illustrates the merging logic. The "!" denotes inverted.

  All Day: |-------------------------|        
        A: |-----|       
       !A:       |-------------------|        
        B:                |----|       
       !B: |--------------|    |-----|   
   A or B: |-----|        |----| 
 !A or !B: |-------------------------|   This is what the gateway uses as active
!(A or B):       |--------|    |-----|   This is what was intended by the user

For the above example, the Override option should be used instead.
