Schedule time drift

[moakesr]

I notice my scheduled events are drifting by the odd minute increment now and again, i.e. an event scheduled for 9.00pm is now 9.04pm after about 2 weeks of operation.

Anyone else noticed this?

I had been thinking that my picture frame was coming on later recently. Thought it was my imagination, but I guess not! I'll look in to it.

Thanks

There was an issue with me resetting the next event based on when the previous event actually ran rather than when it should have run. I have changed that in version 1.3.1, so uninstall the old version and install 1.3.1 to get this working right.

Sorry for the long delay in replying.

I upgraded to the latest version and the time drift no longer happens, thank you very much for sorting this out

Hi,

still no time drift, but definitely missing events now and again, reverted back to the original version and no more missed events but time drifting

I control a lot of devices, and would like a way of having scenes (multiple devices) with the same on and off times, and also differing on and off times at the weekend. If such features were to appear I would feel compelled to make another donation

When the event is due to fire, it creates an entry in the file C:\ProgramData\MillieSoft\PowerControllerMCE\eventList.dat. When it misses an event, can you see a missed entry in there, or is it out of date.

You can have different times on different days. If you look at the eventList file you will see a list of days represented as a series of 1's and 0's, 1111111 by default. Change that to filter out days. At the moment you need to edit that with a text editor.

The scenes is an interesting idea.

Thanks
