Model fails when trying to add interior Blinds

Help, very new to OpenStudio, using it for a university project. I have tried to add interior blinds and set the shading control type to "OnNightIfLowOutdoorTempAndOffDay' but the model fails when i try and run it, i have tried to instead create a time based schedule for when they will be used and not but i am either selecting the wrong schedule type or something else as when i try and 'drop' the schedule set into the tab it wont 'accept' it. Can anyone offer some advice ether in solving the errors (attached examples) or in what schedule type and corrosponding shading control type to use?? TIA
