Your two-event schedule is now ready to be uploaded to the HomeRunner RBI controller, but first
let’s name it. Click
“Schedule”
then click
“Save Schedule As”
then type a name in the “File name”
box (for example: “
Home

“Save.”
Special Cases: Crossing Over Midnight And New Year
When creating events based on a range of times that cross over midnight or dates that cross over the
new year, care must be taken to use the correct logic type. To
HomeRunner RBI
, a “
Time
is After
”
condition is considered true from one second past the specified time up to and including 11:59:59
PM. A “
Time
is Before
” condition is considered true from 12:00:00 AM (midnight) up to and
including one second before the specified time. Since it can never be before midnight AND after
midnight,
you must use OR logic when crossing over midnight
.
Example:
//
Cross Over Midnight
If
Time is After 6:00:00 PM Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat
or
Time is Before 1:00:00 AM Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat
Then
X10: [A-1] Porch light ON
Else
X10: [A-1] Porch light OFF
In the above event, the Porch light will be ON from 6:00:01 PM through 12:59:59 AM and OFF from
1:00:00 AM through 6:00:00 PM.
