I created a timed event formula to trigger on the half of every hour. Seems to work fine.
datetime(date(today())+ "," + hour(today()) + "," + "30:00")
Then I create a timed event to trigger a macro off the hourly setting and another timed event to trigger the same macro off my custom timed event formula on the half of every hour.
Every time the half hour trigger happens it deletes the timed event entry. Both timed events seem to work fine, but the half hour one always deletes it's entry.
Any ideas what's up? Is it because I am calling the same macro?
On the same subject, all I want to do is call this macro every 30 minutes so maybe there is a better way to do it?
Suggestions/comments?
Brad

I am on track now to solve my own issue. I just realized that's what the [INCREMENT] reference was in the timed event formulas.
Just gotta figure out how to incorporate that ...
Edit
Ok, nevermind. reading the powerhome 1 manual and in the timed events for the frequency I can enter a numeric value for minutes, tested and working fine.
Lol, my own worst enemy is ... me

Brad,
To have a Timed Event trigger every 30 minutes, just type 30 in the Frequency column.
This catches alot of people. They figure they only have whats available in the dropdown but the frequency column is in minutes so you can type any minute value that you like. 10 for every 10 minutes, etc.
The standard dropdown values are actually converted to minutes when they are stored in the database. Hourly is stored as 60, Daily is stored as 1440  .
Dave.
