I'm trying to get a macro to run on a schedule every 30mins(for example) but couldn't figure out how to do it.
I saw an example: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/roomdevices-macros-samples/blob/master/Scheduler/Scheduler.js
I can see that this will perform the action everyday, is it possible to modify this to meet our requirement?
I thought it was as easy as modifying this line:
if (difference <= 0) difference += 24 * 3600;
to
// 30minutes schedule
if (difference <= 0) difference += 30 * 60;
EDIT: so I see my approach using above example is overkill and could have achieve using setInterval?
Maybe i'll provide more details what i'm trying to achieve here.
I have a macro setup on the room kits in our office that will send a webhook when it detects an active call.
The webhook will then do a meeting room booking request to book the room for duration of 1 hour.
The only issue with this is, it only runs it one time for that particular call and if the call were to be extended longer than 1 hour, it will not trigger the webhook.
What I would like to achieve is to set macro to run every 30minutes to check if call is active, if yes send the webhook, if not do nothing.
Below is a portion of my code:
const Sunday = 0, Saturday = 6;
const ScheduleFrequency = '1'; // Set this to the time frequency you want to have the device do something(in minutes)
function checkPeoplePresence(peoplePresence) {
if (peoplePresence == "Yes"){
systemInfo.peoplePresence = peoplePresence;
if (systemInfo.inCall >= 1) {
sendMonitoringUpdatePost();
} else {
xapi.status.get('SystemUnit State NumberOfActiveCalls')
.then(checkInCall)
.catch(console.error);
}
}
}
function checkInCall(calls) {
if (calls >= 1) {
systemInfo.inCall = calls;
if (systemInfo.peoplePresence == "Yes") {
sendMonitoringUpdatePost();
} else {
xapi.status.get('RoomAnalytics PeoplePresence')
.then(checkPeoplePresence)
.catch(console.error);
}
}
}
function repeatSchedule() {
const weekDay = new Date().getDay();
if (weekDay !== Sunday && weekDay !== Saturday) {
xapi.status.on('SystemUnit State NumberOfActiveCalls', checkInCall);
}
}
repeatSchedule();
setInterval(repeatSchedule, ScheduleFrequency*60*1000);
For above, I have set the frequency to be 1 minute.
- so when i make a call, it sends the first webhook
- i remained on call for 2 minutes, but it didn't send the 2nd webook which i hope it should have done.
