Schedule Triggering Summary
Devices that are controlled by a schedule will be edge triggered by default
Edge triggering allows full manual control of the devices in between times
Edge triggering only gets processed at the start and end of a period
If you program a device to follow a schedule, control will not take place until the next 'start' time passes
If you configure the device to always follow the schedule, the device state will immediately start following the
schedule
When a device is configured to always follow the schedule, manual control of the device is no longer
possible.
Holiday Groups
As schedules are commonly used to control access or secure areas, it is a common requirement for a schedule
to behave differently on a holiday.
Holidays are defined in Protege GX using Holiday Groups.
You can create multiple groups, providing lots of flexibility in how holidays are applied to schedules.
Adding a Holiday Group
Navigate to Sites | Holiday Groups and click Add
Enter a name for the holiday group - we'll use National Holidays for our example
Switch to the Holidays tab and click Add
Enter the name Christmas and enable the Repeat option as Christmas occurs on the same day every year.
Set the start and finish date to December 25th
