Timer Component
The Timer component generates daily, weekly, or yearly events to automatically activate scenarios; configuration parameters in Ilevia Manager.
Introduction
The Timer component allows you to generate daily, weekly, or yearly events to trigger scenarios.
Use cases
The user wants to associate Timers with scenarios to trigger them automatically, without having to start them manually.
The Timer is useful for triggering scenarios within the system. The Timer component does not need to be configured with any specific gateway.
This is because the Timer is an internal mechanism of the Ilevia server: what matters is the server system date and time.
In the case of a Raspberry Pi without an internet connection, the Timer does not work properly because the Raspberry has no backup battery to keep the time updated even without a connection and when the device is powered off.
