I just noticed in my Log that a bunch of weird scheduled events appear:

Jul 29, 2015 8:15:00 AM
Schedule workday schedule - at work
Sent (offline) "downstairs thermostat" set heat setpoint to 67.0
Sent (offline) "upstairs thermostat" set heat setpoint to 67.0
Sent (offline) "downstairs thermostat" set cool setpoint to 82.0
Sent (offline) "upstairs thermostat" set cool setpoint to 82.0

I don't have any of these devices and then I realized these are defaults that come with the software. Ok, so they can serve as examples or templates - great. But question: how come it doesn't show any sort of error, when a bunch of schedules go off for devices that don't exist? Shouldn't it notify the user if it tries to execute a schedule and gets no contact with whatever device is being controlled?

The sample database is made up of X10/Insteon devices. If you don't have the X10/Insteon interface enabled, then it will show that the interface is offline when sending commands:

Code: Select all

Sent (offline)

If you enabled the interface, you'd see errors. Just delete the unused devices/schedules. Or, just create a new empty database.

Ok, so scheduled events continue to run (and don't log or report an error) if the interface they are meant to use is disabled?

Schedules and Triggers run independently of any enabled or disabled interfaces (they have to since the same schedule/trigger might have several actions attached to it, some not related to interfaces at all).

If you want to start with a clean database file then choose the File->New Database menu item.

Got it, thanks. I was just surprised that scheduled items don't trigger an error if they don't (or can't) run.
