Scheduled prices

Scheduled prices

The AP can switch content by itself at a time you choose: new prices from Monday 07:00, or a sale that starts and one that ends it. Your computer does not need to be on then.

python3 esl_client.py sync prices.csv --at "2026-10-19 07:00"
python3 esl_client.py price 00000123456789A8 "Kaffe" "39,90" "Tilbud" --at "2026-10-20"
python3 esl_client.py schedule                  # what is waiting
python3 esl_client.py schedule-clear 00000123456789A8

• The time is local ("2026-10-19 07:00", or a date for midnight), ISO with an offset, or Unix seconds. In the API it is "at" in Unix seconds.
• A sale and the price after it can be one CSV file with an at column: the same MAC may be in it once per time.
• The clock: the AP gets the time from the internet (NTP). Without it, esl-client sets the AP's clock from your computer before it schedules anything. After a restart without internet, nothing is applied until the time is set again.
• Plan ahead: the AP wakes the label just after the time, but it needs one poll in between. Schedule at least one poll interval ahead.
• Room: 256 waiting entries for all labels together, by default.

Content sent without at leaves scheduled entries in place. The dashboard shows how many are waiting.
