Scheduling an Action
An action can be regularly performed at a preset time interval instead of being triggered by a specific event. For example,
you can make the PDU report the reading or state of a specific sensor regularly by scheduling the "Send Sensor Report"
action.
When scheduling an action, make sure you have a minimum of 1-minute buffer between this action's creation and first
execution time. Otherwise, the scheduled action will NOT be performed at the specified time when the buffer time is too
short. For example, if you want an action to be performed at 11:00 am, you should finish scheduling it at 10:59 am or
earlier.
If the needed action is not available yet, create it first. See
