Aircon scheduler

Skill r1cA18/sharp-aircon-mcp/skills/aircon-scheduler

Schedule aircon operations using cron. Create sleep schedules, morning routines, and time-based temperature changes. Use when user asks to schedule AC operations, set up sleep mode timing, create morning/evening routines, or automate AC behavior at specific times. Triggers: "schedule aircon", "sleep schedule", "timer", "cron", "wake up warm", "auto off at night", "morning routine", "set timer", "turn off at midnight", "preheat before I wake up"From its SKILL.md

Aircon Scheduler

Create and manage cron jobs for automated aircon control via REST API.

Prerequisites

Sharp Aircon API running at http://localhost:3000
cron available (standard on macOS/Linux)

Verify API is running before creating schedules:

curl -s http://localhost:3000/

Cron Tag Convention

All entries MUST include #aircon tag for identification:

30 22 * * * curl -s ... #aircon sleep-phase1

Sub-tags: sleep-phase1..sleep-phase5, morning, morning-off, evening, away, return, custom-LABEL

Schedule Management

# List aircon schedules
crontab -l | grep '#aircon'

# Remove all aircon schedules
crontab -l | grep -v '#aircon' | crontab -

# Remove specific group (e.g., sleep)
crontab -l | grep -v '#aircon sleep' | crontab -

# Add multiple entries
(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; cat <<'EOF'
ENTRIES_HERE
EOF
) | crontab -

Workflow

Creating a Schedule

Ask user for: timing (bedtime/wake or specific times), purpose (sleep/morning/custom)
Read references/templates.md for season-specific templates and API commands
Adjust template temperatures for current season (consult smart-aircon skill for optimal values if unsure)
Show generated cron entries for user review
After approval, install and verify with crontab -l | grep '#aircon'

Modifying a Schedule

List current: crontab -l | grep '#aircon'
Remove target group: crontab -l | grep -v '#aircon GROUP' | crontab -
Add updated entries

Notes

cron runs with minimal PATH; curl is typically at /usr/bin/curl
Append >/dev/null 2>&1 before tag to suppress cron mail
Weekend-only: use * * * * 0,6 for day-of-week
Each cron entry runs independently; one failure does not affect others
Season changes require updating schedule temperatures manually
For one-time recommendations, use the smart-aircon skill instead
