Adding a Calculated Date Calendar Event

You add a calculated date to specify a recurring event, such as Friday of the first week of even months. Calculated dates are also used for events or holidays that do not always fall on the same date each year.

The dates specified in a calendar are shown in the date list. You can specify dates in a calendar by three different methods:

  • Date: a specific date

  • Date range: a fixed period with a set start and stop date

  • Calculated date: a fixed period that repeats

Date Calendar Events

A single date within a calendar is an entry that occurs once or every year on the same date.

The following single date entry choices schedule an event on a single date, January 1, 2009:

  • Year - 2009

  • Month - January

  • Day of month - 1

  • Day of week - Any day

The following single date entry choices schedule an event on a single date every year, January 1:

  • Year - Any Year

  • Month - January

  • Day of month - 1

  • Day of week - Any day

The following choices produce an error message:

  • A day, month, and year combination that does not coincide

    An example is Friday, March 5, 2009. This date actually falls on a Thursday.

  • Any years past 2105

  • An explicit day that is out of range

    An example is September 31 or February 29 in a non-leap year.​​

Date Range Calendar Events

You can include a date range in the date list. A date range is a series of days to include in a calendar. An example of a date range is January 1, 2009 to January 31, 2009, which adds the entire month of January to the calendar as an event. You can use this date range for a device, such as a thermostat, to behave differently for the whole month of January.

Calculated Calendar Events

You can include a calculated date on a date list. A calculated date has no set start and stop date. For example, you use a calculated date to schedule the first week of the even months on a Friday.
