How to use schedule card #30

Closed kmengvik closed 2 years ago

kmengvik commented 2 years ago

Hi Richard :) Thank you again for one of the most useful apps on the Homey platform.

I have a question on how to use a card. The schedule card. I want the charger to wait until 22 oclock when I plug in, but not momentarily start/stop charge when I plug. I suppose this set up (attached) will do just that. But how is the card thought to be used from your side? Should I trigger the schedule card with a daily trigger card? In that case how is the repeat function to be used? Sorry for beeing a noob, but appreciate clarification :)

Hi!

Based on my understanding (I don't use Homey to control the Easee chargers currently) the schedule is a one-off setting if you include Repeat = Yes. With the action you have in the picture the car should only charge between 22-06 every day. You only invoke the action once, then the schedule is set. You can verify the outcome of the actions in the easee.cloud webapp.

If you build a flow using a trigger I recommend using the output from the trigger in the condition. Something like the below

Thank you,

I chose a different approach. Added a lot of flexibility to concider a number of scenarioes. also can be overridden with Siri :) ladbilen
