Time of day event repeats multiple times

[Timon]

I have an event that occurs every day at 12:00:00 AM.

Here is the trigger event:



Unless I'm missing something it should only run once at 12:00:00 AM and every second for a full minute.

And the event it calls:



The time qualifier on the event is so I can call it during the day and get a summary to that point but not reset the data. I don't see how this could be effecting things.

Part of the log entries:

I believe this is a known issue, try using 12:01:00 AM and see if the problem still exists.

I have a nightly batch process that starts at 12:00:04 AM and do not see this problem.

Also try selecting a 'do not repeat for' interval in the Advanced options. A few seconds is probably enough.

[Timon]

I’ll try both ideas one at a time.

I’ve never used the do not repeat before as I never came up with a reason. Guess I have one now.

Thanks

Thanks guys! Setting the "Cannot Re-Run For:" to one minute solved the problem.

Now to try and figure out why I get phantom lights that seem to turn on and off on their own but that's a whole other thread

Yeah, I'd like the answer to that one, too!

[Timon]

Yea, those phantom light changes are bugging me. I think I'll start a new thread on them unless there is one I've not found.

BTW, just today I was setting at my desk and my desk ceiling light started going from 20% to about 70% over and over and over and over, well you get the point. I finally had to command it a few time and it finally stopped. Funny thing, nothing in the logs.

Anyway that's for another thread.
