How to program a simple timer scenery?

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting

hi all

just got my vera lite today, along with a Everspring AN158 on/off module

i´m trying to set up a simple scene, that will enable my sons tv to only turn on at 14.00 - 22.00 on monday to friday, but i can’t get anything to work

i have included the AN158 and i can control the on / off function manually from the web interface, but just can´t figure out how to program this scenery?

could anyone please point me in the right direction?, maybe even link to a walkthrough or a guide that is easy to follow?

sincerely

you will need to create 2 scenes:

  1. one that turns the module ON at 14, mon-fri
  2. one that turns the module OFF at 22 mon-fri

this has more info on creating scenes and schedules: http://docs5.mios.com/doc.php?language=1&manual=1&platform=3Lite&page=automation

ok thanks a lot, i thought i could do it in 1 scene, and that was what puzzled me, now i created 2 scenes, one for turning off, and one for turning on, with 2 different schedules, and everything works.

thanks

thanks[/quote]Technically you can do it in one scene, that starts at 14:00 to turn on the outlet, has a delay of 8 hour, and then turns off the outlet.

However, I personally do not like huge gaps in my scene timing like that, sine any LUUP restart/crash/etc. would cause the ‘off’ to be missed. For that reason in this circumstance, I would keep it as 2 separate scenes.
