Scheduled scans

The node can run a scan at a set time, once or every day, even with the web page closed. It holds up to eight schedules.

Start

• Web UI: set up a scan on the Scan tab, then Schedule this scan.
• Over mesh: @AH01 SCHED_ADD:2026-10-07T21:00|86400|/scan|mode=2&secs=600 runs a 10-minute target scan every day at 21:00.

Value	Meaning
2026-10-07T21:00	First start, in the node's local time
86400	Seconds between runs. 0 runs once. Minimum 600
/scan	/scan target scan, /sniffer device discovery, /drone drone detection
mode=2&secs=600	Radio (0 Wi-Fi, 1 Bluetooth, 2 both) and run length

@AH01 SCHED_LIST lists the schedule, and @AH01 SCHED_DEL:1 deletes entry 1.

The clock

A schedule runs on the node's local time. A Headless node runs schedules once its clock is set, from GPS or over the mesh. Without a clock, a scheduled scan does not fire. See First setup.

If a schedule does not run

Confirm the node's clock is set and the time is in the future. The minimum interval for a repeating schedule is 600 seconds. A scan already running at the scheduled time is not interrupted unless you set it to.
