Time event xap msg generation

[Shane Harrison <shane.harrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

Just wondering what folks do to generate xAP (BSC in my case) messages as a
result of a certain time of day being reached.

I notice there are some time of day xAP applications (send time messages)
but I don't know any application that can processes them and generate other
xAP messages - seemed to be used for displays I think.

I looked at floorplan scripting but it only allows scripts to run on BSC
events being received.

Looked at desktop and it seems to run scripts based on display buttons
bein=
g
pushed etc.


In my case I want to switch towel rails, hot water cylinders off and on
based on time or perhaps as a result of other non BSC xAP messages.  I
realise I could build this into my controller xAP helper application ie.
listen to the broadcasts of time of day and react etc.  This might align
with the "broadcast" philosophy of xAP but probably only works
well for
static arrangements.  Where I want it to be dynamic and configurable via
some GUI this isn't going to work.

Interested in philosophies and what people are doing in practice.

Cheers and thanks
Shane
