Schedulers

Schedulers enable time-based automatic control of filtration devices, turning them on and off at specified times.

Accessing Schedulers

Navigate to /sites/[id]/schedulers or click "Schedulers" in the site sidebar.

Concept

Schedules define:

• Target devices: Filtration devices to control

• Start time: When to turn on

• Stop time: When to turn off

• Days: Which days of the week

Schedule Components

Schedule Execution

Start Action

1

System checks schedule

At the start time on scheduled days, the system verifies the schedule is valid and active.

2

Sends start command to devices

The system issues the start command to the target devices.

3

Devices begin filtering

Target devices commence filtering operations.

Stop Action

1

System checks schedule

At the stop time on scheduled days, the system verifies the schedule is active.

2

Sends stop command to devices

The system issues the stop command to the target devices.

3

Devices stop filtering

Target devices cease filtering operations.

Crontab Conversion

Internally, schedules convert to cron format:

• Precise timing

• Reliable execution

• Timezone handling

Overnight Schedules

For schedules crossing midnight:

• Set stop time earlier than start time

• System handles day boundary

• Works correctly across days

Example: Start 22:00, Stop 06:00 = Night shift

Multiple Schedules

Devices can have multiple schedules:

• Different times for different days

• Overlapping schedules combine

• Consider interactions carefully

Use Cases

Production Hours

Day	Time	Purpose
Mon-Fri	07:00-18:00	Day shift
Mon-Fri	18:00-02:00	Evening shift

Energy Savings

• Run only during production

• Automatic shutdown

• Reduce off-hours consumption

Air Quality Prep

• Start before work begins

• Pre-filter the air

• Stop after hours

Best Practices

Timing

• Allow warm-up time

• Consider start-up sequences

• Account for building access

Overlap with Automation

• Schedulers set baseline operation

• Automation can override

• Consider combined behavior

Maintenance Windows

• Disable before service

• Re-enable after

• Use disable toggle

Empty State

If no schedules exist:

• Message indicating no schedules

• "Add Schedule" button

Permissions

Creating/editing schedules requires:

• Member or Admin role

• Access to target devices

• Active licenses on devices
