Features
Sockets, relays and other actuators are switched automatically – by time, linked to another variable, or both.
One group for the whole week, weekdays and weekend separately, or a separate schedule for each day.
No scripts and no manually created events needed: the weekly schedule event in the object tree is created, updated and deleted automatically.
The target variable takes on the state of any Boolean variable – inverted if you wish.
If the schedule or the reference changes, the valid state is switched immediately.
Switching only starts once IP-Symcon has fully started up.
If you wish, the target variable appears directly below the instance in the WebFront.
How the module works
A schedule event switches the target variable at the stored times. Whenever the schedule changes and when the system starts, the valid state is applied.
Every change of the reference variable is applied, inverted if you wish. Weekly schedule and linking work independently of each other.
Technical details: instance configuration 5 fields
| Target variable | The variable that the module switches. |
|---|---|
| WebFront link | Optionally creates a link to the target variable below the instance. |
| Weekly schedule creation | No schedule or delete schedule, one group (Mon–Sun), two groups (Mon–Fri and Sat+Sun) or seven groups (per day). The switching times can then be adjusted in the event. |
| Reference variable (linking) | Boolean variable whose state is transferred 1:1 – independently of the weekly schedule. |
| Invert | Takes on the reversed state, e.g. for contacts with reversed logic. |
Setup step by step 5 steps
- Select the target variable in the instance configuration.
- Optionally choose a weekly schedule variant – the event is created automatically below the instance.
- Open the event and adjust the on and off times.
- Optionally choose a reference variable and activate “Invert” if required.
- Optionally activate the WebFront link.
Frequently asked questions 5 questions
Why doesn’t the module switch immediately after a restart?
It waits until the IP-Symcon kernel is ready, so that the target variable isn’t addressed too early.
Can the weekly schedule and linking be used at the same time?
Yes, both work independently of each other.
How do I change the switching times?
Open the weekly schedule event below the instance in the object tree and adjust the times.
What happens with “No weekly schedule”?
The existing weekly schedule event is deleted. The linking is retained.
What is “Invert” for?
The target variable receives the reversed state of the reference variable.
