What is the best way for date and time compare ?

Sebastien Clivaz 4 years ago in bOS Configurator / Tasks updated by Fabien Fuster 4 years ago 4

Hello


The first ask:

I would like know the best way for compare actual date and time with variable for trigger a  tasks program.

The second  ask:

How to check if value is including between x and y

Best regards

Hi,

Can you provide a bit more info about what you try to achieve for the 1st item ?

For the second one, you need to write a program to be retriggered every time the given value is changing and above X (in your trigger) and "if" below Y, do ..... (in your program). Alternatively, you can do "if" above X and "if" below Y, do.... (in your program) and simply task the program to be retriggered every time the given value is changing.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

Complementing Fabien reply, probably I would something like this for the 1st:

- Create a Program task,

- On the trigger, choose Time, ValueChanged(OnChange);

- Bellow, on the program body, create an If

- Choose Time, Value, Equals(=), and place the date and time of the day you want

- Inside that If, create what you want to do

- If you have more than one condition, you need to create a "tree" inside the first If

Kinda like:


Best regards
 

Thank you Fabien and Ricardo for your answers.

Ricrardo in my case I would like compare only date 24/03 in your exemple. The year should not be compared.

I would like find a period for each year without change every year of the comparaison

Best regards.

Hi,

Try by doing "if" "general/day"=x and "if" "general/month"=y, do ..... As trigger, I guess you have to put both "general/day" and "general/month", both to allowed to retrigger.
