How to get a collection of schedules to be enable/disabled by a scene

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting

I have a collection of schedules for various lights and radios that cycle them on, then delay for several hours, then cycle off.

I do NOT want the schedules enabled when I am home.

I am trying to figure out how to enable or disable all the schedules at once. I’d use this when I leave the house for several days.

(I do know that Vacation Ghost can do something like this on a random basis within a certain time window, but I have not had much luck in getting it to work the way I want.)

Is there any way to say, link the enable/disable function that now needs to be manually checked on/off, to a scene?

I have searched the forum, but have not found any good answers?perhaps I’m not using the right keywords.

I asked the same question (almost) myself! See

You need to go to apps.mios.com to get the Virtual Switch plugin, and write some small Lua code to test it.

Good luck!

A new version of Vacation Ghost (0.95) was released. Most of the problems have been fixed.
