Hi,
As mentioned last night during the Jitsi Meet, here is a cut down version of
what I do for the bells, chimes and music at WMT. This technique has also
been used in multiple other programs at WMT.
We also using logging, but it is a custom version that you probable don't
need, so I'll leave that to you.
#! /usr/bin/env python3
# apsscheduler.py:
#
# **********************************************************************
# This program uses the apsscheduler library to determine the key trigger
# points for the time related functions.
#
# ***********************************************************************
import datetime
import time
import os
import subprocess
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
################## Setup Variables ############################
sched = BackgroundScheduler() # Setup the scheduler
################### Define Procedures #########################
def hours():
global Status
# Your code here
# I use subprocess.call() or subprocess.Popen() to call external programs
def funcs_schedule():
# Schedule functions to be run and start the scheduler
# You can call up specific times, eg
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='10')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='11')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='12')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='13')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='14')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='15')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='16')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='17')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='18')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='19')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='20')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='21')
sched.add_job(hours, 'cron', hour='22')
# Or you can run the code every hour
sched.add_job(hours, 'interval', hours=1, id='run rtl_433 code')
sched.start()
############ Main Program Begins Here ####################f __name__ ==
"__main__":
#-Your code here
try:
print("Startup at ", str(datetime.datetime.now()))
funcs_schedule()
while 1: # Otherwise, idle until Opening
Hours is true and an event occurs.
print("In long sleep")
time.sleep(2**31-1)
#Catch any unexpected errors and log them so we know what happened.
except Exception:
print("Unexpected error \n\n"+str(traceback.format_exc())+"\n\nwhile
running. Exiting...")
