Examples how to use scripting in C# or vb for GetSchedule(string scheduleName)'

[wallee]

Hi,

I want to create a dynamic schedule. I read this is possible with scripting and 'void SetSchedule(string scheduleName, string timeSlots)'
Is it possible to get some examples how to do this in C# or VB? Mabe also for:
void SetSchedule(string scheduleName, string timeSlots)
string GetSchedule(string scheduleName)
string GetScheduleNextTimeRangeStart(string scheduleName)
string GetScheduleNextTimeRangeEnd(string scheduleName)
bool IsTimeInScheduleTimeRange(string scheduleName)

Thanks!

here is an example of a C# script that update the Test schedule with a schedule that contains 2 time ranges: Saturday from sunrise-30mins to sunset+30mins and Sunday from sunrise-30mins to sunset+30mins.
If the schedule doesn't exist it is created.

public object Main(object[] Parms)
{   
    hs.PluginFunction("EasyTrigger", "", "SetSchedule", new object[] { "Test", "[Sat Sunrise-00:30;Sat Sunset+00:30],[Sun Sunrise-00:30;Sun Sunset+00:30]" });
    return 0;
}

I try your example and this working well. Now i want to make a schedule for EACH day, so i tryed without the day:

hs.PluginFunction("EasyTrigger", "", "SetSchedule", new object[] { "Test", "[08:00;08:30]" });

I get the error:

ERROR One of the identified items was in an invalid format.

How can i specify 'everyday'? Or must i create 7 entrys with day specified?
Thanks in advance.

you can't create a day schedule using the SetSchedule scripting function, but you can update an exisitng one.
so, create a day schedule manually from the config page, then retry your script.

That was the solution. Now i can set my schedules dynamically
I want to program a intelligent preheat at wakeup time. The system will calculate continous the neeeded time to heat my house 1 degree. Then i know how long i have to preheat to have exactly the wanted temperature at wakup.
thanks again!

Hi,

Is it possible to use a variable timeslot like this?

String timeslot = ("11:30;12:30");
hs.PluginFunction("EasyTrigger", "", "SetSchedule", new object[] { "Test", timeslot] });

I tryed several combinations but keep getting errors.

try this:

String timeslot = "[11:30;12:30]";
hs.PluginFunction("EasyTrigger", "", "SetSchedule", new object[] { "Test", timeslot });

Hi,

I just found out how to implement the preheat but im strugling with this.
I have this script to read my wakeup time set by Easytrigger:

public Object Main(Object[] parms) {
string nameis = (string) hs.PluginFunction("EasyTrigger", "", "GetSchedule", new object[] { "Test2" });
hs.WriteLog("EasyTrigger Script", "nameis = " + nameis.ToString());
return 0;
}

Result is:
nameis = [17:35;17:36]

I want to put the first time string (in red) put in a virtual device.
Then i can subtrack the preheat time from this virtual device with easytrigger.

Can i have a example how to strip this first timestring and put this in a virtual device?

Thanks!

Walter
