Daylight control only activate in office hour

In InputOutputReference guide, there is "1.15.1.1.4 Field: Availability Schedule Name". However, I am not able to find it in the SketchUp plugin. Is it only for E+ not OS? Not sure how we can schedule the daylight control. For example, I only want the daylight control to be activated between 8am-6pm to get desired light level. After office hour, even if the room is dark I don't need the electric light to get that level and it should be kept off. Is there a way to do that? Thanks.
