It actually check the schedule and execute few actions based on the schedule.

You have two Thing templates option to inherit from in order to do this:

• Scheduler ( at exact hour, hour of the day, day of the week,... )
• Timer ( every n-milliseconds do something )

Hi It would be very helpful if you could provide some samples on how to work with timer template.

How do i trigger a service automatically at particular time interval.

I need to call the service in any events ?

Hi

1)If you have inherited from thing template Timer , you then add a  new subscription ,selecting Timer as event in that you can call any Thing service  as like

Things["Notification"].DetectChanges();

2) If you want a event wise notification (some property change) you can add subscription ,select Event as Datachange and then select the property that will change in time
