Scheduling an Action

An action can be regularly performed at a preset time interval instead of being triggered by a specific event. For example, you can make the HPDU report the reading or state of a specific sensor regularly by scheduling the Send Sensor Report action.

When scheduling an action, ensure you have a minimum of a 1-minute buffer between the action creation and first execution time. Otherwise, the scheduled action is not performed at the specified time when the buffer time is too short. For example, if you want an action to be performed at 11:00 am, finish scheduling it at 10:59 am or earlier.

If the needed action is not available yet, create it first.

An example of the scheduled action is available in the section titled Send Sensor Report Example (on page 94).

1. Select Device Settings → Event Rules → + New Action.
2. To select any action(s), select each one in the Available Actions list, or select all available actions by clicking Select All.
3. To remove any action(s) from the Selected Actions field, click the X for that action, or to remove all actions, click Deselect All.
4. Select the frequency in the Execution Time field, and specify the time interval or a specific date and time using the frequency settings in the following table.

   Action Execution Time Frequency Setting Minutes Click the Frequency field and select an option. The frequency ranges from every minute, every 5 minutes, every 10 minutes, and continues in 5 minute increments to a maximum of every 30 minutes. Hourly Type a value in the Minute field, which is set to either of the following: 0 (zero) value – For example, the action is performed on the hour at 1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, or 3:00 AM. Non-zero value – For example, if it is set to 30, the action is performed on the half hour at 1:30 AM, 2:30 AM, 3:30 AM. Daily Type the values or click the Up or Down arrow. The time is measured in 12-hour format and so you must correctly specify AM or PM by clicking the AM/PM button. For example, if you specify 01:30 PM, the action is performed at 13:30 pm every day. Weekly Both the day and time must be specified for the weekly option. Days range from Sunday to Saturday. The time is measured in 12-hour format and so you must correctly specify AM or PM by clicking the AM/PM button. Monthly Both the date and time must be specified for the monthly option. The dates range from 1 to 31. Note -  Not every month has the date 31, and February does not have the date 30 or 29. Carefully check the calendar when selecting 29, 30, or 31. The time is measured in 12-hour format and so you must correctly specify AM or PM by clicking the AM/PM button. Yearly Month – January through December. Day of month – 1 to 31. Time – Uses 12-hour format and so you must correctly specify AM or PM by clicking the AM/PM button.
