Christmas Logic - Pleg Logic for Date range

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)

Has anyone a method, or LUUP code to share , that will run a PLEG scene from 12/1 - 1/15 of each year? I rebooted the vera box, and I can now see why the use of absolute times can be a problem, as it does not run after a reboot.

Thanks

  • EDIT - I created a Christmas Button on a virtual multi switch, and created a sChristmas schedule from 4:30 PM to 11:00 PM with a 15 minute random start stop. So, we press the christmas button at the start and end of the holiday season, and if both conditions are true, it works great. Curious still, to see how others may be using the creativity of PLEGs features. Thanks

If you created this AFTER 12/1 you will need to set it to the correct state … since the next event will not happen until NEXT year.
To set it to the correct state … click the “DO IT NOW” on the schedule tab.

Richard -

Thanks for the tip, I had actually done that, it flipped the trigger, all lights turned on as expected, then I did some more config that night, and rebooted the vera before I went to bed.

When I woke up, all the christmas lights were still on, and after reading, my understanding was because of the reboot, and using the ABSOLUTE method. Is that accurate that a reboot will cause an issue?

Post a Status report … I do not understand what you did.

Reboot shoot not affect things unless it’s ABSOLUTE time and Vera is rebooting at exactly that same time.
