Is there a clock/calendar scheduler in OpenBeken? addClockEvent examples

Question

Hi, is there a scheduler feature now? Or do I just add timers in the script

p.kaczmarek2 · Answer

Maybe the addClockEvent command can suit your needs?

@p.kaczmarek2 thanks, looks like exactly what i need Any example with ntp server enabled?

p.kaczmarek2 · Answer

We will be posting addClockEvent examples on our docs page (autoexec.bat examples section):
https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/autoexecExamples.md
They are not there yet, but I will post them soon. Please remind me in 24 hours if I forget. Thanks!

Added after 7 [hours] 30 [minutes]:

addClockEvent demos added, open this:
https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/autoexecExamples.md
and search for "addClockEvent".

Tell me if there is anything more unclear or can I do something else for you?

Hello p.kaczmarek2,I have the following problem with the Week's timer:When I add this timer:addClockEvent 12:00:00 0x16 1 power onthe socket is switched on at 12:00 on Thursday.Everything is OK as far as it goes.If I insert this timer:addClockEvent 12:00:00 0x32 1 power onthen this timer is also activated on Thursday.Why not Friday?Am I doing something wrong?Are these WeekDayFlags correct?Sunday = 0x01Monday = 0x02Tuesday = 0x04Wednesday = 0x08Thursday = 0x16Friday = 0x32Saturday = 0x64Thank you, and thank you for your very good work

p.kaczmarek2 · Answer

You are using hexadecimal notation incorrectly. If you want to have decimal 32, please write:

That is, 32 decimal is a 32 without any prefix.
If you want to have hex 32, then you write:


0x20

>>20767660little help here please...for all days is 0x7f or 0xff. What about mon-fri (weekdays excluding weekends)

p.kaczmarek2 · Answer

Each bit corresponds to each day, starting with Sunday, which is 1. So Monday is 2, Tuesday is 4, Wednesday is 8, Thursday 16, Friday is 32. So, if you want Monday to Friday, then calculate 2+4+8+16+32

I am a Noob. I flashed a switch with OpenBeken. It appears to work fine. Then I created this autoexec.bat but it is not functioning. Any pointers?


// start NTP driver, so we have time from web
startDriver NTP
ntp_setServer 192.168.111.1
ntp_timeZoneOfs -8
//Show up in Windows Network
startDriver SSDP
// Reduce power usage and heating
PowerSave 1
// Wait for NTP to connect
waitFor NTPState 1
echo "NTP is ready"
//
addClockEvent 14:31:00 0x16 1 backlog power1 on; delay_s 100; power1 off;

p.kaczmarek2 · Answer

We don't have delay support in backlog yet, you should use:


// This aliased command will turn off relay on CH1 after 10 seconds
// addRepeatingEvent	[IntervalSeconds][RepeatsOr-1][CommandToRun]
alias turn_off_after_time addRepeatingEvent 10 1 power1 off
alias do_cycle backlog power1 on; turn_off_after_time 
addClockEvent 14:31:00 0x16 1 do_cycle

Test it by using "do_cycle" as a command, it should turn power 1 on, and then after 10 seconds turn it off. Once you are sure that "do_cycle" works, then you can use it in clock event. Check it step separately so you can tell what goes wrong.

I am creating multiplatform open source firmware (Tasmota replacement), right now supporting BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800, W600, LN882H and soon supporting RTL and W701:

I will try today. I just experimented with this and it appears to be working (gave two addclockevents):


// start NTP driver, so we have time from Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the clocks 
startDriver NTP
// Configure a local NTP server on your LAN so that devices do not need to connect to the internet
ntp_setServer 192.168.111.1
// Set the local timezone as NTP server only provides UTC time
ntp_timeZoneOfs -8
// Setting the devices location will allow for calculating sunrise and sunset times
ntp_setLatlong 38.42825889193605 -122.58791953325273
//Show up in Windows Network
startDriver SSDP
// Reduce power usage and heating
PowerSave 1
// Wait for NTP to connect
waitFor NTPState 1
echo "NTP is ready"
//
//  Turn on at 03:00:00 every day (0xff)  {To be changed later to Sunday (0x01)}
//addClockEvent 14:43:00 0x16 1 backlog power1 on; delay_s 100; power1 off;
addClockEvent 08:15:00 0x7f   568 POWER ON
addClockEvent 08:16:00 0x7f   569 POWER OFF

Worked like a charm.
In fact, for some reason, my earlier tries were sometimes not working.
Will stick to this and its more elegant.

are you saying:


Every bit corresponds to a day
00000001   Sunday
00000010   Monday
00000100   Tuesday
00001000   Wednessday
00010000   Thursday
00100000   Friday
01000000   Saturday
Therefore Monday, Wed, and Sat is
01001010  (Decimal: 74, Hexadecimal: 4A)
expressed as 0x4a
