Simple Scheduler v1.3.1

First public release.

To install, download SimpleScheduler.qplugx below and double-click it. Q-SYS Designer puts it in your Plugins folder, and it appears under Fresh AV Labs > Simple Scheduler in the Schematic Elements list.

What it does

Weekly schedule triggers. Up to 16 schedules, each firing a trigger output at a set time on the days you pick.

Automatic snapshot backup. Once a week it saves your design's state into a Q-SYS Snapshot bank, rotating through 2 to 12 slots so you keep that many weeks of history. Set Backup Slot Count to match your bank. The default of 4 matches a stock Snapshot block.

A few things that are easy to miss, all covered in the README:

• The Snapshot bank needs Script Access set to Script or All. The default is None, and a bank set to None is invisible to the plugin with no error.
• Picking a bank switches every backup slot on, so there is nothing else to arm. The slots ship off, and nothing turns them back on afterwards. A slot you deliberately turn off stays off, which is how you keep a protected commissioning snapshot the weekly cycle can never overwrite.
• If you only want the schedules, the backup page costs you nothing and never warns about itself.

SimpleScheduler.qplug in the repository is the same plugin as readable Lua, if you would rather see what you are installing.
