SchedulGhost

[Sem;colon]

Hi Pako,

I think I found a bug - do the following to reproduce:
-Create a schedule to trigger on week days and select at least the actual day (I don't know if the result is the same with other types, I didn't check it)
-Select a time that is in the future for the start event(not too far, you will need to wait for it), no stop event
-Save and enable that schedule
-Use Force to run schedule immediately to trigger the just created schedule
-Wait until the time you set is reached

You will see that the schedule doesn't trigger again as the time is reached, even if it's enabled.

Do you have an idea why?

Thank you!

Thanks for the warning.
I'll look at it.

Hi Pako,
I think I found a bug ...

I have patched version in which the bug is not already.
But I came across a dilemma. Here is an example:
I have a schedule Test (where span = 5 minutes) to be started at 18:00.
I manually run this schedule at 17:58.
EventGhost log:

Code: Select all

17:58:00   Test.Start
18:00:00   Test.Start
18:03:00   Test.Stop
18:05:00   Test.Stop

It does not seem to me to be completely perfect. But I will leave it at that.
In another case, that would mean too many complications (for example: when to start the next run at periodic schedules ?)

Cool, I'll try it and let you know!

Thank you!!

But I came across a dilemma. Here is an example:

I don't know what you mean, isn't that exactly what should happen?

[Pako]

I don't know what you mean, isn't that exactly what should happen?

When I wrote a dilemma, so I was referring to the described example and whether to leave it or not.
But as I wrote earlier, I decided to leave it at that.
Another option would be to devise a rule to avoid overlap.

I see, you think it would be nicer if it:

Code: Select all

17:58:00   Test.Start
18:00:00   Test.Start
18:05:00   Test.Stop

right?
I don't think that's an issue...

BTW. It works great! Thank you!!

Is there a way to pass payload with the event from an Egg Timer?

Is there a way to pass payload with the event from an Egg Timer?

No.
But I think you can use the normal schedule of "Time span".

I've been using your plugin for a long time with no problems - Thank you.

However, for some reason unknown, this morning I get this error message in my log file when it's trying to start ScheduleGhost.

Error starting plugin: SchedulGhost

I'm not a programmer, so I don't even know where to begin here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Pako,

I recently started using the holiday function of SchedulGhost which is a very nice idea, but I noticed some limitations:
-You can't select "Do also trigger events for a non-chosen day if it happens to be a holiday" if you don't select any day, but this would be nice if you like your schedule to only trigger on holidays.
-A lot of people are working on Saturday - but not if it's a holiday (e.g. super market), it's currently not possible to create a schedule for them that triggers on each of their working days, but not on holidays, on a weekly basis.
-You may want to select "Do not trigger events for a chosen day if it happens to be a holiday" even if you set your schedule to trigger on a Saturday or Sunday as holidays are often a bit more special than normal Saturdays or Sundays.

Hi Sem;colon !
You can add it yourself.
I do not remember anything from the development of the plugin,
so add a feature, it would mean the same effort for me and for you.

Pako

[Sem;colon]

OK, I will!

[Sem;colon]

Done!
I did it by removing the distinction between weekend days and workdays, all days are workdays now.

How do I set up SchedulGhost to run an audio file at set hours? i.e 0800, 0815, 0900 etc

I'm completely new to this plugin btw.

What does "etc"?
Can you clarify?
You can specify the whole set?
It has to operate every day?
