Good way to make a calendar triggers?

Hi,

I am wondering, how other specialist in the field make a good calendar of trigger? The result I want to have is 1 default timeline and different timelines based on different annual dates (national holidays, ect)

Right now I have this as an example for January:

  1. 1 of January - Timeline 1
  2. 2-10 of January - Default timeline
  3. 11-12 of January - Timeline 2
  4. 13-25 of January - Default timeline
  5. 26 of January - Timeline 3
  6. 27-31 of January - Default timeline

If I want to add for example, a trigger for 28th of January, I just add it between points 6 and 7 also changing the last for January so it becomes:

  1.  1 of January - Timeline 1
  2. 2-10 of January - Default timeline
  3. 11-12 of January - Timeline 2
  4. 13-25 of January - Default timeline
  5. 26 of January - Timeline 3
  6. 27 of January - Timeline 4
  7. 28-31 of January - Default timeline

My triggers are StartUp with Real time conditions and Start timeline action.  Since the controller has a daily Reset all controllers trigger, this works fine. 

Is this how you also do this or is there a better/another way? 

Kind regards,

Andres

  • I found there is a module that may help with this: Modes.

    This Module allows you to setup 16 different Modes (think of these as what Timeline will play: Mode 1, Mode 2 etc.)

    You could set an Astronomical Trigger to Set the Mode based on your calendar dates, and then request the Current Mode Action

    This will Trigger a new Action: "Current Mode Received" which runs each time you request the Current Mode.

    So when this Current Mode Received Trigger is activated, it can present the number of the mode as a Variable, which you might be able to use for your timeline selection.
