Is it possible to set up the SPA 3102, so that all outgoing daytime
calls go via VOIP, then all evening & weekend calls go via PSTN( BT)?

With its power off the SPA 3102 defaults to PSTN

Get a digital mains timer and set it so it is on all week but cut the power
over the weekend - these timer plugs can be picked up quite cheaply - low
tech answer but it should work!

Well, as someone suggested, you could use an Orchid dialler.
Programmed appropriately, in conjunction with the dial plan, it would
be easy to switch providers according to charge period.
I think some people have stated that they do this. I haven't tried it
with my Sipura SPA-3000 because I have had no need to do it. However,
I did try it with a Fritzbox but got misbehaviour problems.

An orchid dialler box is very cheap. It's the obvious solution, except
that unless you use the version with a PSU, you may lose incoming CLI.

Not always true. I have the PSU version. I lose CLI.

Ah, but is there a PSU powering it? I found that the PSU version with no
PSU running is no better.

Yes it was powering it. Since changing phones to a much smarter one I
have taken it out of circuit.
