Schedules

Experts can use schedules to configure certain days of the week and times of the day to command one or more groups to:

  • Turn on (task level)

  • Turn off

  • Go to a scene

Schedules act as a manual override, just like using a wall switch to turn the group on, off or call a scene at a certain time of day. This means that after a schedule is called, automatic behavior in groups with Auto Off behavior templates will resume once the Hold time elapses (i.e. the group remains vacant). Additionally, schedule actions can be overridden using wall switches where they exist.

=== The maximum number of schedules for a project is 16. Each schedule can be configured with actions to control up to 16 different groups simultaneously. ===
=== Schedules operate on fixed days of the week (every week) and at a fixed time of day. Astronomical scheduling relative to sunrise and sunset and specific dates or date ranges are not supported. ===

3 Type a Schedule name, then click the appropriate check boxes for the days of the week you want the schedule to run on. Choose the time in 24-hour format (HH:MM) when the schedule will run. From the Apply to dropdown menu, choose the group for which the schedule applies. From the Scene dropdown menu, choose On, Off or any custom Scene. Repeat the Apply to and Scene drop down selections if necessary for other groups that will be included in this schedule (up to 16). If you add an action for a group by mistake, you can click the trash can icon beside the group in the schedule actions list to remove it from the schedule. When you are finished, click Create on the top right to enable the schedule.
