The following snippet of code is driving me nutz. More to the point, the datatime functions of appdaemon are driving me nutz.
Run_every says it needs a datetime object. I’m trying to use the appdaemon datetime functionality to support timetravel if I ever have a reason to use it. I’ve tried it with datetime imported, with datetime and time imported, and with neither of them imported. Explain the magic please.
self.log("about to set time")
time=self.datetime()
self.log("time={}".format(time))
self.run_every(self.timer_handler,time,3*60)
self.log("event scheduled")
#self.check_battery_state()
#self.log("back from check battery state")
def timer_handler(self,**kwargs):
self.check_battery_state()
Log looks like this
