schedule NEST thermostat on first monday of the month

[mancide]

Version: 2024.6
Platform: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Plugin/Hardware: Domoticz-NEST-plugin/Google NEST thermostat
Description:

I want to set the temperature for every first monday of the month at 20:00.

I go to the tab "utility"
I go to my thermostat and click on "timers"
On the tab "grid"
I use the following settings:
Type: Monthly (Weekly)
Time: 11:00
Persistent: off
Value: 21
Day: First Wednesday

I get a line like this every second:
2024-11-06 14:34:23.824 Status: Schedule item started! Name: Nest - clublokaal Heating Temp, Type: Monthly (Weekday), ThermostatID: 23, Time: 2024-11-06 14:34:23

the NEST plugin doesn't like that very much and returns an error "too many requests" after about 8 minutes...

should the setpoint be set every second? or is this a bug?

remark: an "On Time" type seems to work just fine (but then it's executed every week)

Better maken an issue on the plugin. https://github.com/FilipDem/Domoticz-NEST-plug. A monthly timer shouldn't trigger anything outside it's range.

The timer is on the setpoint device in Domoticz how can this be a bug in the plugin???

I disabled it for now as it is not working correctly

Apparently there is an issue in communicating the timer switch action with the nest thermostat. That part is handled by the plugin.

You could check with a dummy thermostat device and set a monthly timer action on it and see if there is the same issue. If so then there is an issue with Domoticz and not in the plugin.
