run scene based on date variable

[Jay Ess 6]

Hi all, would really appreciate any help which can be provided.

Using HC3, I want to store a date as a variable and then at sunset of the following day run a scene.

Was thinking of storing the date as global variable and then I need to run a scene which adds 1 day to the stored date if it matches then run scene.

 

Global Variable Name Is HoildayDate = "11/20/20"

 

I am stuck on how to manipulate the stored value to be able to trigger the scene.

 Thank you

moved it in to a qa and it works perfectly thank you, is there a way of running it from a scene instead of a quickapp? 

[Bodyart 231]

Why would you like it to run from a scene?!?

[Jay Ess 6]

hmm as i will be running it on a timer in a scene and thought it would be neater to keep it all in one scene

this has stopped working have i got a typo somewhere?

The code works if it cal.items[i].yomtov==true 

however i cant get it to work if it is not true can you please advise?

[Bodyart 231]

Hi @Jay Ess,

 

insert before working with the value of  cal.items[i].yomtov

simple test:

                if cal.items[i].yomtov==nil then cal.items[i].yomtov=false end

Short answer, net.HTTPClient() is asynchronous.
