send every minute the time

[Ronny H]

Hi

i try to send every minute the current time to the bus. It is no problem with this

        <object id="cur_date" gad="0/1/0" forcewrite="true" type="EIS4" init="persist">Current Date</object>
        <object id="cur_time" gad="0/1/1" type="EIS3" init="persist">Current Time</object>

       <rule id="time_date">
            <condition type="timer" trigger="true">
                <every>60</every>
            </condition>
            <actionlist>
                <action type="set-value" id="cur_time" value="now" />
                <action type="set-value" id="cur_date" value="now" />
            </actionlist>
        </rule>

My problem is, i want to send this time exactly with the system time on the 0 second from the minute. The rule i wrote here send every 60 seconds, thats good. For example: when i start linknx at 17:24 and 44 seconds, linknx sends the time always on the 44 second of every minute. How can i change this to the first second?

Hi,

I have not tested, but looking at the code, I think that simply using this could work:
<rule id="time_date">
<condition type="timer" trigger="true">
<at />
</condition>
<actionlist>
<action type="set-value" id="cur_time" value="now" />
<action type="set-value" id="cur_date" value="now" />
</actionlist>
</rule>

This can look a little bit strange, but if you understand that all values not specified are considered as wildcard.
The following is true every day at 7am, 0 minutes and 0 seconds
<at hour="7" min="0" />
The following is true every hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds
<at min="0" />
The following is true every minute, 0 seconds
<at />

I hope it will work
