CS scheduler

The screenshot showcases the CS Scheduler feature, which is used to manage temperature-based schedules for Control System (CS) devices.

Here is a detailed explanation of the interface and its functionality:

CS Scheduler Interface Overview

The CS Scheduler allows users to create and manage temperature-based automation rules for Control System devices. Each schedule determines the action a device should perform under specific temperature conditions.

Interface Details

1. Header:

   1. o Displays the title: Existing schedules of TEMPERATURE, indicating the context of the schedules being managed.

2. Schedule Table:

   1. o Columns:

      1.  CS Device: Indicates the device name (e.g., "AC - 1") for which the schedule applies.

      2.  Status: Specifies the action to be performed (e.g., "TURN ON").

      3.  Condition: Defines the condition under which the action is triggered (e.g., "LESS THAN").

      4.  Value: Represents the threshold value (e.g., "34.6\u00b0C") for the condition.

      5.  Actions: Includes:

         1.  Enabled Button: Indicates whether the schedule is currently active. Clicking this button can toggle the schedule's status between "Enabled" and "Disabled."

         2.  Delete Icon (Trash Can): Allows users to delete the specific schedule.

3. Action Buttons: o

   1. Create New Schedule: A button at the bottom-right corner enables users to add a new schedule for temperature management. Clicking this opens a form for configuring a new rule.

Use Cases

1. Temperature Automation: o Automatically turn on or off devices based on temperature thresholds to ensure optimal conditions (e.g., turning on an AC if the temperature is above or below a specific value).

2. Efficient Energy Management: o Enable schedules only during required times, reducing energy consumption.

3. Device Management: o Quickly review and update multiple schedules for different devices from a single interface.

Steps to Use CS Scheduler

1. Viewing Existing Schedules: o Navigate to the CS Scheduler and review the listed schedules. o Check the schedule's status, conditions, and associated values.

2. Modifying a Schedule: o Click on the Enabled button to toggle activation. o Use the Delete Icon to remove an obsolete schedule.

3. Creating a New Schedule: o Click Create New Schedule and define the parameters (Device, Action, Condition, Value).

Create New Schedule Interface

The Create New Schedule dialog box provides an intuitive form for defining automation rules for CS devices based on temperature conditions.

Interface Details

1. Dropdown Menus:

   1. o Condition (Select):

      1.  Allows users to specify the condition under which the action will be triggered.

      2.  Options might include:

         1.  Greater Than: Triggers the action when the temperature exceeds the specified value.

         2.  Less Than: Triggers the action when the temperature drops below the specified value.

   2. o Action (Turn):

      1.  Defines the action the device should perform when the condition is met.

      2.  Common options:

         1.  Turn On: Powers the device on.

         2.  Turn Off: Powers the device off.

2. Temperature Value Field (Middle Input):

   1. o Allows users to specify the numeric threshold for the condition (e.g., "34.6°C").

3. Device Selection (Select CS Devices):

   1. o Dropdown to select the specific Control System device for which the schedule is being created.

   2. o Example devices: AC-1, Heater-1, etc.

4. Save Button:

   1. o Save Schedule: Finalizes the schedule and applies it to the selected device.

5. Close Icon:

   1. The X button in the top-right corner allows users to exit the interface without saving.

Steps to Create a New Schedule

1. Open the Scheduler:

   1. o Navigate to the CS Scheduler section.

   2. Click Create New Schedule.

2. Define Conditions:

   1. o Choose the appropriate condition (e.g., "Greater Than").

   2. o Enter the threshold temperature (e.g., "30.0").

3. Select Action:

   1. o Choose the desired action (e.g., "Turn On").

4. Assign Device:

   1. o Select the specific device from the dropdown menu.

5. Save Schedule:

   1. o Click Save Schedule to create and activate the schedule.

Use Cases

1. Temperature-Based Device Control:

   1. o Automatically turn on air conditioning when the temperature exceeds 30°C.

   2. o Turn off heating when the temperature rises above a specific threshold.

2. Energy Optimization:

   1. o Automate devices to conserve energy by operating only under specific conditions.

3. System Monitoring and Response:

   1. o Ensure timely responses to environmental changes without manual intervention.

This feature simplifies creating precise, automated workflows for device management, enhancing operational efficiency.
