schedule override?

[archgetty]

I have a simple doser set up to dose ALK late at night. But sometimes I want to skip a night or two, so I set the doser output to OFF OVERRIDE manually. But according to the log, the schedule seems to keep operating every night. Is OFF OVERRIDE on the output supposed to stop the dosing regardless of the schedule?

it probably does do that but the schedule will still run. To stop the schedule you can create an output and used constant output type. If you set it to be always on the you would go into the schedule and set the depends on to that output and set the dependency mode to off if off. Then you can manually override that output to off. You can also setup the constant output to always off and then set the dependency mode to off if on. Then override the output to on when you want to stop the schedule. It will not stop a dosing already in progress but it will not start another one.

Thanks! That's very clever.

I do something similar on my AWC, but I have a switch that is tied to one of the 0-10v inputs that controls the output that stops the AWC schedule. So if there is a reason I want to stop the AWC schedule I turn on the switch and it will stop scheduling it until I turn off the switch. I usually do that if I am going to be out of town for a few days. That is one less thing to worry about.
