RE: [energyinterop] Starting Event Signals

That is why I made it optional.

If it is absent, it inherits from the Active Period.

If it is conformed to always do so, as in OpenADR, you don’t even have to check.

I’m making the assumption there that the Active Period Start is the “time of the event”. If not, I may still be missing something.

Subject: Re: [energyinterop] Starting Event Signals

The conformance statement we have been using to date is the start time of the signal is the same as the event. Putting a start time in the header of the signal would be a step backwards.

Do all signals in an Event have the same start time?

If so, we can put the StartDateTime in the event to act as a gluon (for startDateTime), and then constrain Streams to be only duration….

Alternately, we can put StartDateTime in the header for each Stream.
