I have a job that should trigger every 30 minutes as well as on certain HVAC events. However, the periodic scheduler shows multiple (up to 6-7 some times) instances of the 30 minute scheduled job become active. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug?
Thanks
You could certainly have 3 of the first four triggers occur at once... with some coincidence thrown in.
AT 10:30, you will get a Trigger, PLUS if the thermostat goes into Heating (or Cooling) at that moment, you will get two more Triggers, onec for Changed, and once for Heating.
PLUS if it takes more than 30 mins to complete the heating or cooling, you'll get another trigger at :30 again.
In the second pic showing "Scheduled Jobs", there are 5 instances of the rule scheduled to execute at 10:30. (There are actually a couple more below what is shown on the screen.) There should only be a single scheduled instance set to run at 10:30. Any other triggers are not time based and should only get scheduled when the trigger fires. My problem is that 5 (or even more) instances of my rule all run at 10:30, and every half hour thereafter.
Under the settings of the RM rule itself, does it show 5+ instances scheduled?
I have several rules that run every 5 minutes and they each only show once instance scheduled. In settings and on the Scheduled Jobs log page.
Yes, it shows multiple instances scheduled for the next 30 minute timeslot.
