running only on specific days).
events. For example, a light may originally have been programmed to turn on at 5:00
pm and a recent addition to the schedule has the same light turning off at 5:00 pm. This
will cause the light to turn on and off in 1-2 second intervals, as the Home & Away
Controller System tries to accommodate both Scheduled events. To solve this problem,
delete one of the conflicting events.
You can define schedules for Lights and Appliances or for each thermostat by day of
week or for vacations.
For Lights and Appliance Schedules, you add device events or Lifestyle and set times at
which the events occur. By defining Lifestyles as explained in an earlier task, you can
set a collection of device changes to occur at one time rather setting each event
individually in the Schedule.
For thermostats, you can set the time at which each Period starts and the heating and
cooling set points for the periods.
