Create a schedule based on user input [closed]
Hello, I am writing a measure in openstudio that takes user inputs about start and end times of charging of a system. I want to recreate the following compact schedule in Ruby with times 7:00, 17:00, 24:00 being user inputs.
Schedule:Compact,
ChargeSchedule, !- Name
On/Off, !- Schedule Type Limits Name
Through: 12/31, !- Field 1
For: Weekdays, !- Field 2
Until: 7:00, 1, !- Field 4
Until: 17:00, 0, !- Field 6
Until: 24:00, 1, !- Field 8
For: Weekends Holidays, !- Field 9
Until: 24:00, 1, !- Field 11
For: AllOtherDays, !- Field 12
Until: 24:00, 1; !- Field 14
I will then create a sensor to get the schedule value (the authorization to charge my system) for my calculation.
This what i've written so far
# Get user inputs
charge_start = runner.getStringArgumentValue('charge_start', user_arguments)
charge_end = runner.getStringArgumentValue('charge_end', user_arguments
# Convert HR:MM format into HR.fraction format
(c_start_hr, c_start_min) = charge_start.split(':')
(c_end_hr, c_end_min) = charge_end.split(':')
# Store re-formatted time values in shorthand variables for use in schedule building cs: charge start , ce:charge end
cs = (c_start_hr.to_f + c_start_min.to_f / 60).round(2)
ce = (c_end_hr.to_f + c_end_min.to_f / 60).round(2)
#Create Schedule Type Limits
sched_limits_onoff = OpenStudio::Model::ScheduleTypeLimits.new(model)
sched_limits_onoff.setName('OnOff')
sched_limits_onoff.setNumericType('Discrete')
sched_limits_onoff.setUnitType('Availability')
sched_limits_onoff.setLowerLimitValue(0.0)
sched_limits_onoff.setUpperLimitValue(1.0)
# Create the Compact Schedule
charge_schedule = OpenStudio::Model::ScheduleCompact.new(model)
charge_schedule.setName('Charge_Schedule')
charge_schedule.setScheduleTypeLimitsName(sched_limits_onoff.handle.to_s)
Any indications on how to continue from here ?
Thanks
