Can you create rules based on HOME-AWAY

Peter S shared this question 10 years ago
Need Answer

Hi,


I run the exterior lighting using rules - no problem. I also want rules to control interior lighting when I am away (that is when I put the system in "away" mode). I have not found any way to make an IF-statement or similar that runs a rule only if system status is away? Is there a way to achieve this?


Just for clarification, I don't want to run a scene where all lights are on 24 h, but have one behaviour when home and one behavior when away.


Any advice on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!


/Peter


PS. My wife is currently somewhat upset by the fact that the light go on and off automatically when we are at home! :-)

You can Also make a Sean to turn all lichts of.

(even with a delay of 5 min. or so)

Thanks for the advice, but I don't think this solves the problem (correct me if I am wrong). The proposed rule does something in conjunction with arming partition 1 or with a delay. Let's say that I want lamps to turn on at 5 pm and turn off at 10 pm when partition 1 is in armed status. Can that be done?


Cheers,

You need to use the scheduler puzzle.

You must create a rule with two scheduler.

When "scheduler A OR Scheduler B" then...


Scheduler A set to 5pm repeated every day, Scheduler B clone of A with time @10pm

if Alarm status = armed AND light=off then

Set light=ON


if alarm status=armed AND light on then

Set light=OFF


I think it can work.. anyway the this is the right way with adjustments :)

I used alarm device to control home and away settings.

Also i have this included in all rules that i dont want to run if i am not home.
