Set Clock Widget With Button/Script

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum, I am still pretty new to QLC+ but learning quickly I love this software.

Im developing a system for the lights in my home to run solely off of the web interface. My first question, is it possible to create a button that would set the start time of a function? I know you can use the clock widget to set when you want a function to start but I would like to be able to change this using the web interface. I was thinking of writing a script to do this but I dont even know where to start or if its even possible to control the clock widget with a script. Then I was going to have a bank of buttons with different start and stop times. If anyone knows whether or not its possible to control the timer widget with a script or some other method from the web interface you have no idea how much I would appreciate any information!

Thanks in advance guys and I cant wait to see what this software is fully capable of!

Hey,

controlling the clock widget from anywhere else as the properties dialog is not supported at the moment.

But you could write several scripts with different wait times and after that the function you want to execute. Maybe not exactly what you want (because not planned by absolute, but relative time), but maybe still a possibility.

Lukas

Thanks so much for fast reply!

You saved me lots of time wasted chasing my own tail on this subject. I guess I will just have to make due with the wait function for now.... If i figure out any other method ill post it on here!
