How can I schedule a control (for example check the status of two switches) every two minutes ?

Scheduling control at interval
Re: Scheduling control at interval
If you want to check the status of two switches, the easiest way would be to use the app called:
Periodical Sensor Polling
It is from Z-Wave-me and you can tell it how often to poll and 2 minutes is one of the options.

Periodical Sensor Polling
The Sensor Polling App will organize to periodically ask all sensors to update their value into the User Interface. In case the module is not active, all functions of the Z-Wave System will still work but the Values shown in the UI and used for Logical Rules may be just outdated. This means a frequent polling is highly desirable to always the most recent information on the UI. However for battery-operated devices the most recent value is defined by the wakeup interval of the device. In the time between two wakeups the device remain sleeping and will only report sensor updated if the device supports so called unsolicited sensor reports driven by a change of the sensor value. This means that the polling frequency of a battery-operated device is limited anyway and any more-frequent polling will not increase the user experience. Mains operated devices can be polled as often as you want. In order to prevent the Z-Wave network from overflowing with request and response packets this polling should be handled with care. Hence the app allows to exclude certain devices from polling (good idea for always awake battery devices to extend their battery life!) and to define the polling interval.
Re: Scheduling control at interval
I've to check at regular interval (for example every 2 minutes) if two switches (a virtual switch and an heat pump actuator) are in a status combination not expected (the first one OFF and the second one ON). In this situation I've to set OFF the actuator.
I haven't found how to check every 2 minutes with a schedule.

Re: Scheduling control at interval
The periodical sensor polling is a schedule. I don't know if you can check a virtual device though, but you can see if it is in the list.
You can also create a set of rules. Have you looked in rules? It doesn't poll but watches the status and it uses the IF, THEN, ELSE structure. Have you looked at rules? At the very bottom of the page if you toggle the advanced button you get even more options.

Re: Scheduling control at interval
The periodical sensor doesn't see switches (virtual and real) .
And in the rules (advanced) you can only add a time condition with <, > or = operators.

I tried to use the app "Schedule" with "0-59/2" in field Times . I don't know if is correct .(see attachment)
