n my simulation, I didn’t use the schedule from honeybee but I would like to create my own schedule by using “Honeybee annual schedule” as shown below:
I will suggest connecting directly the output “schedule” instead of loading from the library.
I kind of remember from old discussions that the schedules are not well registered in the library using the HB_addToEPLibrary. The fact is that they are not loaded right.
I don’t believe my suggestion is going to mess the file (more than it is already), and i believe it will work.

This is the method I tried before to connect the HB_Annual Schedule immediately to HB_SetEPZoneSchedules. However, there is a warning message “cannot find ….in Honeybee schedule library” as shown below. And the whole simulation does not work.
In view of this warning, I just try the method to HB_addToEPLibrary.
The error was caused becouse most of the panels with the schedule name had an extra empty line. The attached file fixes it.
Maybe this is also related to the original error … please check.

I just wanted to note that adding the schedule to the library and then assigning it separately to the zones is a valid method for using the components. However, when you do this, you need to be cognizant of the order in which the components execute on your canvass since you want to make sure that the schedules get written into memory before you assign them to zones. So the best practice is to push the “Add to Library” component and the schedule components to the back of the canvass by selecting them and hitting Cntrl+B. This will ensure that they execute first before they are assigned to the zones.
