Ago Scheduler

The ago scheduler module allows triggering action on specific times of the day.

You can add one or many times of day to a device, a group of devices or to a scenario. You can add on or many rules to the event. Some examples:

• Run scenarion for closing the drapes and switch on the porch light at 19:00, but only if housemode is "At home".
• Irrigate the lawn every Tue 9:00am and Fri 8:00pm
• Turn on all window lights 30 minutes before sunset.

Schedules

As of now, there's no UI to create the scedules. For now, you'll need to edit a json file to suit your needs. The scheduler file has to be placed in the config dir (e.g. /etc/opt/agocontrol/conf.d/). You can name the schedule file as you like and have more than one file. You use the scheduler.conf file to control which scheduler file to activate. You could e.g. have a winter.json and a summer.json schedule that are different.

   }
 ]
}

Days

Days can have the following content: "all", "weekdays", "weekends" or any combination of "mo", "tu", "we", "th", "fr", "sa", "su"

Time format

The time field can have either fixed times, expressed in 24h format, e.g. "06:00", "17:25", "23:57" It can also be "sunrise" or "sunset", or a time relative to those. 20 minutes before sunrise would be stated as "sunrise-20m". The time offset has to be stated in minutes; also if you want longer periods of time. 2 hours before sunset would be stated as "sunset-120m"

Configuration

The scheduler execution is controlled with scheduler.conf, placed in the config dir (e.g. /etc/opt/agocontrol/conf.d/). Example:

[scheduler]
schedule=winter.json
log_level=info
