IntervalTimer
This module is a part of the NetHomeServer. The IntervalTimer performes a task after a specified time. During the time the timer is active it also performs a “tick”-task with a specified interval. Typically this is used to dim a lamp slowly and then finally turning it off.
At the start of the timer the StartCommand is executed and at the end of the time period the StopCommand is executed. A command may for example be to call the on-method of a lamp or an external shell file. The syntax of the command is described here. The supported commands are: set, call, event, exec.
