Is it possible to set up sheduler time from other rule?

Only time setting is interesting, if it could be set up from rule, which run daily before first shedule-rule. In this case all rules run every day, but i'd like to change run timing.

Don't think that's possible.


But you could do something with a virtual switch or meter wait a delay in it.


But why do you want this?

As I wondering in other topic, I'd like to make time based on/off rules, where other ones time-set can be variable from room temperature (and maybe from forecast also) (sh*t, difficult to explain with bad english...) This time, it seems, that I need two sheduled rule, one for switch on, and another to switch off.


Why this... In "summer cottage" I have very heavy mass storage heaters, which were earlier connected to night tariff controller. Now, when there is no anybody living continously, whole nigth time heating is way too much. Because the heaters are really heavy, normal thermostat control won't work due to the long delay of heaters. So, I think, that it will be best to control on-time based temperature (and forecast temp) keep "away" temp to 5-10C. Then, if somebody is going to get there in winter, heaters could be switched continous heat day before. Or activate different rule with higher temp settings.

You can make rules based on the temps. (if you have a sensor). One for Home and One for Away.


Then make a virtual switch to control the home and away.


Or nicer make a rule to see your location >> see here: http://www.domotica-blog.nl/post/geo-locatie-tracking-automateitapp

My text output is obviously bad... I have temp sensor. But, as i said, only temp based control won't work. Heaters are so heavy, that when set "on" temp begins to raise after several hours. And if they set "off" after some temp setpoint, temperature still raising hours afterwards. And all these are offcourse depended from startpoint temp and current outside temp
