Scheduled Tasks

Smart Life App SDK provides basic capabilities to manage scheduled tasks. For example, set scheduled tasks for devices and groups. Supported types of devices include Wi-Fi devices, Bluetooth mesh sub-devices, and Zigbee sub-devices. This SDK encapsulates the API methods to query, add, modify, or delete timers for data points (DPs). The app can be used to set timers based on specific scheduled task API calls. Then, network modules will automatically run predefined tasks.

Functional description

• Encapsulation class

  Class name	Description
  ThingSmartTimer	Encapsulates API methods for scheduled tasks.

• Multiple API methods require the taskName parameter. It can be regarded as a group of timers. Each timer belongs to at most one group. A group is only used for display. Example:

  • A switch might support multiple DPs. A group of timers can be created for each DP.

  • Multiple timers can be added to each group to control the switch status of the DP in different periods.

    A scheduled task can include multiple timers. The following figure shows the architecture of the device, scheduled tasks, and timers.

    

Add a scheduled task

API description

Adds a timer to a specified scheduled task specified by task for a device or group. The maximum number of timers allowed for each device or group is 30.
