Hour	Character string	Time of the repetition in UTC format (universal time). The possible values are: a digit included between 0 and 23. a list of numbers separated by commas in order to specify several hours. an interval. For example, "9-13". a star ("") to specify the entire range. an interval with a step. for example, "/2" to repeat the appointment every even hour.
