Hi,

I am setting up an installation and would like to inactivate the sound during off hours, night time. I am on a Raspberry pi 3 B+. How would I do this?

Cheers.

using [shell] object you can ask system time and and any system command.

To install the object, type a new this command in terminal:

sudo apt-get install pd-ggee

then in a new patch:

[declare -lib ggee]

[date +%k:%M(
|
[shell]
|
[print]

Otherwise, you can use [system.exec] from ceammc lib

[time] from zexy

Thanks, are there any pros and cons between these 3 solutions? I usually work on a mac but the installation will be using a rpi. So optimally it should work on both systems.

it is also possible with ofelia / lua : https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/12057/ofelia-lua-script-abstractions

Oh yes, I forgot that way!
I think both should work on raspberry and OSX (For windows, the command with [shell] would be a little bit different). The shell is only one object to install, rather than zexy wich will install a full library.

You might go for zexy, unless you need [shell] for using other Unix command...

I went along with zexy lib and it worked without any problems (except that the rpi does not know what time it is when it wakes up). Thanks!
