Adding Schedules

For an explanation of the difference between schedules and events, as well as important details to know, see Know Before Beginning in Managing Schedules and Events.

For an overview, watch the video below (until the 2:35 mark). For details, consult the following written information.

Adding Schedules (Simplified Method)

Using Simplified, you can select a Type of commandable point (for example, Active Cooling Setpoint) and any device(s) from the list which have that type of point. You can then apply the same Active Value for that point type to all selected devices.

1. Go to Schedule Manager , then Configurations.

2. Select Add Schedule to open the Create Schedule window.

3. Select Simplified (if not already selected).

4. Select (from the dropdown menu) the point Type that you want to command with the schedule.

   Note: Once a Type is selected, devices that have that point type turn white. Devices that don't remain blue.

5. Select the orange checkboxes next to any devices with that point type that you want to apply the active value to.

   Note: Devices that have that point type (white) can be selected. Devices that don't (blue) cannot.

   Note: If you want to apply the active value to that point type in all (or most) devices that have it, select Select All Available. (You can then uncheck the boxes next to any devices that are exceptions.)

6. Enter the Active Value.

   Note: The Active Value is the what KMC Commander will set the point to after an event starts (the schedule is On). (See Creating Events.)

7. For Reapply Schedule:

   • Choose Enabled if you want this schedule to reapply to the selected device(s) every 5 minutes during an event time-frame.

     Note: This can restore (within 5 minutes) scheduled values lost during a device power outage or reboot.

     Caution: Take care that two schedules do not command the same point at the same priority at the same time (due to overlapping events) with Reapply Schedule set to Enabled. If one schedule has it enabled, the values will bounce once between the two schedules. If both schedules have it enabled, the values will bounce continuously between the two for the duration of the overlapping time-frame.

   • Leave it Disabled if losing the scheduled value due to complications is not a concern.

8. Enter a Name for the schedule.

9. Select Save.

Continue by Creating Events.

Adding Schedules (Advanced Method)

Using Advanced, you can select individual points in individual devices. You can then apply unique Active and Default values to each of the selected points.

1. Go to Schedule Manager , then Configurations.

2. Select Add Schedule to open the Create Schedule window.

3. Select Advanced.

4. Below Select device(s), select a device with points that you want to include in the schedule.

   Note: When selected, a sublist of commandable points expands below the device.

5. Select the checkboxes next to any of the device's points that you want to command with the schedule.

6. Enter the ON and/or OFF values for each point.

   Note: The ON value is what KMC Commander will set the point to after an event starts (the schedule is on). The OFF value is what it will set the point to after an event ends (the schedule is off). (See Creating Events.) Default should generally be left blank (NULL), which returns the value after the end of an event to the value it was before the start of the event.

7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for all devices and points that you want to include in the schedule.

8. For Reapply Schedule:

   • Choose Enabled if you want this schedule to reapply to the selected device(s) every 5 minutes during an event time-frame.

     Note: This can restore (within 5 minutes) scheduled values lost during a device power outage or reboot.

     Caution: Take care that two schedules do not command the same point at the same priority at the same time (due to overlapping events) with Reapply Schedule set to Enabled. If one schedule has it enabled, the values will bounce once between the two schedules. If both schedules have it enabled, the values will bounce continuously between the two for the duration of the overlapping time-frame.

   • Leave it Disabled if losing the scheduled value due to complications is not a concern.

9. Enter a Name for the schedule.

10. Select Save.
