Honeybee: seasonal schedules leads to an error when running a schedule

Hi all,

I needed to create a seasonal schedule in Honeybee and at first, everything was done correctly.
This schedule leads to errors when used in Set_EPZoneSchedules:

  • When running the simulation through OpenStudio: 1. Solution exception:expected ScheduleWeek, got ScheduleYear

  • When running through E+:

    • The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error: ** Severe ** ProcessScheduleInput: Schedule:Year=“CUSTOMSCHEDULE”, Schedule:Week Name 2=“ALWAYS OFF” not found.

    • The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error: ** Severe ** ProcessScheduleInput: Schedule:Year=“CUSTOMSCHEDULE” has missing days in its schedule pointers.

Here is a simplified definition that leads to the error:
Seasonal Schedule Error.gh (601.2 KB)

Does anyone run into the same error?
For now though, I will create my schedules directly through E+ so there is no rush on my end.

Thanks in advance,

Cedric

Actually found the error. The mistake was from me: I used Always Off as a weekly schedule, when it actually is a yearly schedule.
It still is weird that the error was not mentioned in the Seasonal Schedule component. although I suppose that this type of mistake shouldn’t happen often.
