What would be the best way to implement simlation of presence, as this is not a built-in function of the zipabox ? I don't want to create many rules to do that, but i can't see how to do it simply .. any idea ?

Hi Kristian,


I have a lot of Fibaro switches, dimmers, door sensors, roller shutters, wall plug, and some sensors (light, presence, temperature).

What i would like to do is to automate the box in order to simulate presence while we are on vacation. To have lights switching on and off at different times every day, to have a sequence of shutter and lights exactly as if we were in the house.

I was doing that for example with home seer using the random time trigger... but i can't find that in Zipabox. I want to be able to switch on the light in the bedroom, then in the bathroom, then in the kitchen, as a normal day, but maybe not exactly at the same time everyday.

My first thought was to use 2 random http request to trigger start. Depending on result use it as a start trigger for time of day. Second trigger to be able to make things differently.

Eg. Receiving 14 as value means starting at 14oclock then use < or > on the second value and make "road blocks". If greater then 7, then do this...
