Scheduler depends on Internet

Abinav Shankar shared this question 8 years ago
Need Answer

Hello Everyone,


I just observed that when the internet connection is removed or down, the scheduler rules stop working.


I have done the following on both Zipabox and Zipamini.


1.) I have set the time zone to my country zone

2.) I have sync the settings

3.) I have made the scheduler rule and also sync the same.


When the internet connection is live, the scheduler rules works and the same rule stops working when internet is off.


I hope this can be resolved. Or am I missing something.


Regards,

Abinav

I don't think it is possible as the Zipabox does not have its own clock.

Ehh. Doesn't have it's own clock? This sounds strange. Zipato har multiple times confirmed that the rules will execute without internet connection.

I think there are some rules that do not want to execute without internet connections.

For example rules depending on a scheduler, as the scheduler isn't in the ox, but in the cloud....

I have the same thing with my lights outside which is controlled by a virtual weatherstation. Don't work without internet connection..

I cannot believe that; that should be basic functionality to operate without the Internet (not to mention a performance hit to have all scheduled events driven by the cloud). I can completely understand Dag's problem because the weatherstation is totally dependent on the Internet.

I agree! The scheduler is as basic as it gets. I can't understand why this can't work without internet.

Hello Abinav,


Zipato controllers have "crono" service built in which is in charge of keeping the time. Scheduler will continue to work even without the Internet connection, exception can be "astro" feature inside of scheduler if Internet is missing for a longer time period. For more detailed troubleshooting of your rules please open a support ticket.

If you use the scheduler to run a rule each day at 8:00 (for instance), it works without internet connection.

If you use the scheduler to run a rule when sunrise, it doesn't works without internet connection, because the sunrise time is different each day, and the box needs an updated value from internet ... each day
