Is it possible to disable a wall switch temporarily? i.e. I wan’t to have a specific light always off during daylight hours no matter what position the wall switch is in?
There are many ways to accomplish this kind of functionality. With a stock Vera, I would use a scene for this.
Create a scene that is triggered by the light being turned On. The action is to turn the light Off. Then in the scene’s LUUP tab add the line return luup.is_night() == falseThis causes the scene to be runnable only during the day, after sunrise and before sunset.
If the light gets turned On during the day, Vera will immediately turn it Off. At night, the scene will take no action.
thanks for the idea. i’ve also noticed cooper light switches have a ‘child lockout’ function which seems to be what i need. except i can’t find any information on activating it besides their own aspire RF controller? any idea if it’s possible without their controller?
Can’t answer you question directly as I don’t have Coopers or found any info on this. But since there is many ways to accomplish this with a switch half the price and no controller besides the VERA needed. It’s probley not worth the hassle unless you already have the equipment.
I searched and found other forums asking the same question with no response.
