Temporary overwrite a scheduler

[Joep]

Hi alll,

I want to overwrite a scheduler temporary with a preferred value for some time. And when my event value return false again the scheduler should work as normal at that given time point. How can i do that?

Code:

value = event.getvalue()

if value == true then
  --overwrite the scheduler object
else
  --switch the object back following the scheduler
end

Thanks in advance for the help.

Why don't you just disable the scheduler by using object, override the output value and enable and write what you want.

Good idea but does the scheduler send the corresponding value direct after the schedelur is enabled again? Or does it just send when reached the next scheduled time again?

[Daniel]

it sends when the event occurs

[Joep]

it sends when the event occurs

Thanks, will do it this way. Much easier

Just use a bit of logic in the middle, create an event script on a TAG that is connected to your scheduler and override..

Code:

schedulerstate = grp.getvalue('10/0/0')
overridestate = grp.getvalue('10/0/1')
if overridestate == true then
  grp.checkwrite('10/0/2', overridestate)
else
  grp.checkwrite('10/0/2', schedulerstate)
end

Just to be sure.. On/off object of the scheduler.

ON = scheduler active and OFF = scheduler inactive ?
Or is it ON = scheduler locked and OFF = scheduler unlocked ?

1 is enabled, 0 disabled.

[Joep]

1 is enabled, 0 disabled.

1 is scheduler enabled you mean?

my autistic brain gets confused because a time clock without this object attached has the value 0 and still works. Now we need to send the value 1 for this to work..

Yes, nothing will change till you send a value to this object, scheduler will not read it.
