Scheduling Table

Tue Jun 14, 2016 1:25 am

It would be nice to have the feature to turn on and off ports on a timed basis. For example, turn on at 7:00 am, turn off at 7:30. Turn on at 12:00, turn off at 12:30. Turn in at 5:00 pm, turn off at 5:30 and remain off until the 7:00. This would cut down on the solar power system size.

can you explain this more? an individual port by itself isn't going to draw enough power to be of consequence.

Are you suggesting powering down certain attached devices by cutting PoE power to the port? I'm not understanding the need/value...

This feature already exists on all switches.

It is under the Power Tab.

On AC switches you need to upgrade firmware for the Power Tab to show up.

You can have it power off a port at specified time and turn it back on at another time.

That would be my guess. As Chris said, it already exists.

DC switches can also use priority to shed load as the battery voltage dwindles.

Thanks guys. I was hoping to have the ability to shut on and off ports at multiple times during the day. It looks like the power tab only has the option to shut on and off once during the day. The reason I'm looking into this is to give access to a remote, solar powered IP camera about 4 times during the day and do it with a very small solar panel. It's in the bottom of a draw and over a hill so direct line of sight is not an option. Xytronix makes a web relay with this feature. They have a demo unit that can be looked at. Here is the link:

The scheduling setup is under the events tab. I could do this with a couple injectors, a switch, and a web relay but I'm trying to get rid of some cost and complexity.


Here is a mockup. Feel free to laugh at my fine artwork.
