send info to isy

[flemingmike]

what is the best way for me to send/post info to my isy? i have things like my work schedule that i would like to be able to send to my isy so i can run programs based on the shift that i work. i can design a database or a webpage if there is a way to do this.

I don't believe there is an easy way to have schedules that are change without programming that in to each program/schedule on the isy-99i. However, if for instance you have 3 different work schedules, you you could create a folder for each schedule. Create a variable that represents the schedule (1,2,3). In each folder, set it to be "if $variable=1" of "if $variable=2" etc. Then under each folder, create programs for that work schedule. Similar to a home and away/vacation folders. When active, only those programs will execute in that folder. You will need 3 folders and 2 sets of programs in each.

 

The variable could be updated via a REST command that you initiate into the isy-99i. That would update the variable, and then, based on folder, change the scheduling.

 

You could alternatively, set the variable via some kind of mobile phone/web page interface.
