Abstract

A method to perform a scheduled action of network devices (13, 14) that are connected via a network comprises calculating an individual triggering time for every device (13, 14) that should perform a predetermined action at a predetermined time. This individual triggering time is calculated based on the synchronous start time of said respective scheduled action and an individual start-up time of the respective device (13, 14) participating in the scheduled action.
