Not wanting to make things more complicated, I just noticed these _COMMANDS_ you can send the `cron-plus` node.

Import these and send them into the node and see what you are told/given.  
(with a DEBUG on the last output of the `cron-plus- node.

If it makes you feel any better, I had missed the ones in the link nodes too.

Yes the array counts from 0, for a total of 16 schedules, but when looking at the actual config exported from my cron-plus node, there were only 15 location entries, I haven't looked at what the discrepancy might be yet.

Indeed, this is how I am pulling the info from cron-plus when I'm doing it manually, injecting the commands, albeit perhaps in the wrong format/syntax, but they work.... except for start-all.... and that's not even all the time seemingly.

Note that the nodes you provided are for dynamic schedules and all mine are static schedules, even though they dynamically change with the solar patterns, they're still classed as static schedules.

Don't know if it's related though, I shall wait and see what Steve has in store 🙂

Hahaha I know it! But Steve is a busy guy and the last time I had an issue with cron-plus, it took someone else to help find what was happening, which in turn enabled Steve to track it down properly and fix it, rather than my insane ramblings on here.

At the end of the day, it might not be anything to do with cron-plus, but something weird about my system as well.

Not sure if you know, but Steve originally wrote the cron-plus node!

Breaking it down into smaller bits to see which one is the problem?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Right…. after some loooong messing around, experimenting with syntax, here’s the tl;dr first:

- If you’re going to run the ‘start-all’ command in msg.payload, it HAS to be set JSON and `{"command":"start-all"}`
- If you’re going to run the ‘start-all’ command in msg.topic, it HAS to be set to string and `start-all`
- You CANNOT put `start-all` as a string in msg.payload
- Conversely you CANNOT put `{"command":"start-all"}` as JSON in msg.topic

And after some messing around getting weird results, running ‘start-all’ at different times, I _think_ I have a theory, which I am testing out next, the tl;dr of that is, you cannot resume a static schedule that has already been run that day!

I was trying to reset/resume/start-all AFTER the relevant schedules had already been passed through, and possibly more importantly, within the rest of the schedules that will run for this time around (not necessarily the “same day”, because ones like ‘Solar Midnight’, can actually come AFTER 12am the next day).

So now that I’ve cleared of my own confusion of what the syntax, format, and where to place the command should be, what I am going to try next is, connect my ‘Resume Schedules’ node that changes msg.payload to JSON `{"command":"start-all"}`, on one of the FIRST of the schedules like ‘Sunrise’ and see if it will work then.

@Steve-Mcl thoughts on this?

If it doesn’t work sending the ‘start-all’ command with one of the morning schedules, it does seem like there’s a bug that’s not allowing static schedules to be resumed, after they have already been passed through chronologically in the list of static schedules.

EDIT: Adding pic for clarity of where I have moved my ‘Resume Schedule’ node to.

“Too long, didn’t read” usually you write that to give a quick “short version” and then also a long version, but as usual I waffled, and made it long anyway 😃

All good.

But hey, well done.

It will be interesting to see any further developments.

If you can't resume a schedule if it has already happened today: as you said, put one in .......  
Well, you see to have it nutted out.

But I'm seeing a _problem_ is if that one has occurred for that day and you paused it AFTER time time, how can you guarantee it will get restarted the next day?

</div>

My theory is (and I have no idea if this is true or not, I could be completely wrong), cron-plus is calculating all of the configured solar schedules once per schedule rotation (note, not per day, as again, some of the solar schedules in a rotation can occur the _next_ day as well).

Once calculated for that rotation, you can resume a paused static schedule _before_ it occurs, but once the pre-calculated time for that static schedule in the current rotation has occurred (paused or not), you cannot activate it back into the rotation.

So my thinking here is, if my theory is correct, let the rotation end, cron-plus re-calculates the new times for all of the static schedules for the next rotation, and then I resume them then.

That being said, thinking about it, I may have already tried to manually resume them the next day myself anyway, and it didn’t work, so I don’t know, I’ll give it a try anyway, and wait and see what Steve thinks.

Alright, that didn’t work however, one thing has become repeatable and would seem to be a bug @Steve-Mcl

Once a paused schedule’s time slot has been passed, it will no long respond to a ‘start-all’ command, nor a ‘start’ command referencing the specific schedules that have been paused, in the same way I would reference them to pause them in the first place.

So far example:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/0/f/0fe1375c909ec380ece408b4a3d80672c18d57b6.png)

I can resume whichever schedule(s) have been paused immediately after they were paused, but before they occur (after the red line).

But once those schedules occur/have been passed in time (pink and blue points), regardless of whether or not they are currently paused or not, they **cannot** be resumed in any way shape or form, without resetting the cron-plus node.

What is the expected behaviour here?

Can you make a reproducible version of this so I can import and debug? Please do not include any HA nodes. Also, please include stepwise instructions on what/when to do things in order to hit the situation.

I very much appreciate your extended efforts to pin this down.

Appreciate the help Steve!

While prepping the copy, and adjusting it so I don’t give you my EXACT co-ordinates, I realised I had the location set to “Fixed Location” instead of “Location Per Schedule”, and it got me wondering, is it still storing the location per schedule anyway, and perhaps it hasn’t replicated the location for the new schedules I recently added.

Indeed, when I switched it from “Fixed Location” to “Location Per Schedule”, look what I found:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/c/4/c434e6816dd6dd0b451db56cd230624ea644b842.png)

Now there were only two like this, and I’d added a total of three new schedules, but maybe I switched to “Fixed Location” mid way through adding?

Anyway, before I send you a copy Steve, I’m going to manually add the location to these two schedules and see if that helps things.

Hopefully that works @Steve-Mcl, I made it without the HA nodes, so ultimately without the check (I guess I could have added some random logic to choose either the early or late schedules), it will ultimately suspend all three of them.

Checking it the next day, the resume ‘start-all’ node to automatically start them again didn’t do its thing, and running a manual ‘list-inactive’ showed the three paused schedules:

```

Even more confusingly, manually injecting a ‘start-all’ actually managed to restart the schedules, **but only two of the three** , wtf:

```auto

```

So I am so confused…..
