EventGhost

Hi,

I wrote a cron scheduler plugin, it allows you to trigger events at a certain time or date.

Yes, I know this plugin, the problem that I have with it is that to much functionality is combined. I would brake it up in a scheduler, sun event generator and holiday event generator plugin. then the user can decide how these plugins interact with each other.

Hi,

I need to calculate the sunrise/set and twilight times once a day. So if the plugin starts I have to calculate the values and schedule the calculation for the next day. All sun events can also be scheduled. Something for the next release.

Hi,

I wrote my first plugin for EventGhost, EventGhost is perfect for my home automation projects (actually it is the best program I found until now). I needed a plug-in that can switch my lights at sunrise and sunset, so I wrote one.

Everything can be found here:

I see now, this gives different thoughts about implementing the plug-in. The problem I created was that I wanted to disable the cron job within the action. In this situation there must be something that tells the action that it is disabled :?. Better way is to tell the plug-in to disable a cron job ...

Keeping track of that would certainly screw my mind in a larger config.

Don't know what this means, but sounds like "can not be implemented" .

It didn't bothered me while coding the Timer plugin

Hi Bartman,

I studied the timer plugin code, you used another action to abort the timer. This is perfectly fine. I'm currently writing a cron plugin, I could also add an action to abort the cron job.

I think for the end-user it is more ...

Hi,

I'm also missing these functions. For a specific plugin I'm writing I need a __stop__ function in eg.ActionBase.

What is actually called when a action item is disabled?
