v2.1 introduces two new rule types, Schedule and Schedule with Condition:
| Type | Description |
| Schedule | Triggers an action at a regular time interval |
| Schedule with Condition | Evaluates the specified condition at a regular time interval |
Schedule
One example of where the Schedule rule type is useful is when working with IoT devices that only 'speak when spoken to'; this necessitates polling them to initiate a data transfer. With Schedule, JEDI One can run an action plugin at regular intervals to do this.
Select Schedule from Rules -> Rule Type. Example:
The action plug-in, Run discovery plugin is executed every 15 minutes.
Schedule with Condition
Perhaps the evaluation of a rule needs to be done at a regular cadence (every 3 minutes, every 5 hours, every 12 days, etc.). Schedule with Condition is designed to care for this scenario.
Select Schedule with Condition from Rules -> Rule Type. Example:
The metric, /bme2800326/tempF is evaluated by JEDI One's rules engine every 30 minutes and if the property exceeds 70, an email notification is sent.
