AND -
The second and optional element of a rule is a qualifier. Rules can have one or more qualifiers OR none at all. Even
though qualifiers are not required, they are ideal for filtering out actions that should not occur under certain
circumstances. A qualifier can be a time, day(s), the state of light or dark, the state of a zone, output, or light, and
hundreds of other variables. The state of light or dark can be determined by the Sunrise/Sunset settings from the
control’s Astronomical Clock. Below are some examples of AND (qualifiers):
Example 3 = AND Front Door (Zn 1) IS NOT SECURE
Example 4 = AND THE DAY(S) OF THE WEEK IS/ARE -M-W-F-
Example 5 = AND IT IS DARK OUTSIDE
Example 6 = AND John’s House (Area 1) IS ARMED AWAY
THEN -
The third and final element of a rule is the action that you wish to occur as a result of the Rule being triggered and
all the qualifiers being true. Below are some examples of THEN actions:
Example 7 = THEN TURN Air Cond (Out 9) OFF
Example 8 = THEN TURN Living Rm Light [6 A6)] OFF
Example 9 = THEN SET Main Floor (Tstat 1) OFF
Example 10 = THEN TURN All Lights On
Here is an example of a rule used to turn off the air condition anytime the front door is left open by the kids. It consists of a 30
second timer for the WHENEVER trigger an AND to test the door’s open/closed state, and a THEN to turn off the output that
controls the air condition.
WHENEVER EVERY 30 SECONDS
AND Front Door (Zn 1) IS NOT SECURE
THEN TURN Air Cond (Out 9) OFF
