Change Rooma Schedule

[Blade]

As of build 2.0.34 (in beta section if not released), you will be able to change the Roomba schedule using a scripting call

PLEASE NOTE:
I have also fixed setting the preferences from the devices (carpet boost, etc)

The scripting call is SetSchedule

hs.PluginFunction("BLRoombaWifi", "", "SetSchedule", new Object(){"Sonny", "Monday=10:00,Tuesday=none,Thursday=11:00"})

The 1st parameter is the roomba name
The 2nd parameter is a string of days equal to the time or "none" - separated by a comma

If you use none for a day of the week then that day will be disabled
If you set the say of the week to a time (in 24 hour format), then the day of the week is enabled

It will only change the days you specify

PLEASE NOTE

If you are using the Roomba i7, then you must pass in all days on the same line.
For multiple times per day, separate them with a pipe (|) character

hs.PluginFunction("BLRoombaWifi", "", "SetSchedule", new Object(){"Sonny", "Sunday=none,Monday=10:00|15:00,Tuesday=none,Wednesday=none,Thursday=11:00|16:00",Friday=none,Saturday=none})

Thanxs Bob, I will play with it tomorrow, Mike

[MNB]

Bob, what is the second set of "" after

("BLRoombaWifi",

used for ?

[MNB]

Bob, setup a manual event (see attached) when executed produced an error messages (see attached)

[Blade]

Instead of starting the command with a &, start it with &n

&nhs.PluginFunction("BLRoombaWifi", "", "SetSchedule", new Object(){"Genny", "Monday=10:00,Tuesday=none,Thursday=10:00"})

[MNB]

Bob, that corrected the error and allowed to run. However it produced mixed results, apparently if you have days that you setup but are not in the command string what you asked to be changed changes but the previous items that weren't addressed remains (makes sense) so the proper command is;

&nhs.PluginFunction("BLRoombaWifi", "", "SetSchedule", new Object(){"Genny", "Monday=10:00,Tuesday=none,Wednesday=none,Thursday=10:00,Friday=10:30"})

I think we should add Saturday and Sunday and simply denote the days that are blank to "none" and the days that require start times inputted to avoid any un-intendant consequences, your thoughts, I'm assuming that the proper Roomba day starts with Sat and ends with Fri? Within the Plug-in you abbreviated the days due to device real-state? Do we need to have the complete day spelled out in the script? Mike

[Blade]

You can use Monday or Mon as the day
The call will only change what you pass to it - it will not touch the other days

My Roomba goes from Sun-Sat
Is yours different?

[MNB]

Well whilst looking at my iRobot app, I have for i7 = S, M, T, W, Th, F, Sa and for 980 = Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Found something interesting the latest script only works on Roomba 980 and not the i7, not sure why but I tried both ways e.g Sunday and S with not difference what I have in the "Weekly Schedule" device is "No schedule entered" any ideas Mike

[MNB]

Bob,
Exploring a little more into the i7 schedule is different than for 980; you can enter a Once with time which is self explanatory, the Weekly allows you to select what ever days of the week with one time being assigned for that schedule event you can enter multiple schedule events with same or different days and are able to assign a different time for that schedule event, does that make sense sooo.. me thinks that there's a different scheme for i7, Mike

[Blade]

Do this for me

1. Disable plugin
2. Edit the BLRoombaWifi.xml and change debugLevel to true
3. Restart plugin

Let the plugin run a couple minutes and then disable debug logging
Attach the debug log zipped to an email to me - just respond to an email I sent
Tell me which roomba is the i7

[MNB]

Done
