in that new devices affect very few programs. None of these scenes have a controller
defined...all are responders and triggered only by programs.
In addition to the global scenes above, I use whole-house scenes for various scenarios:
evening (occupied), evening (away), morning, weekends, holidays, visitors, etc... These are
the scenes I use to turn on the house, and may (or may not) have a controller device
included.
I then take advantage of folders, such as "at home", "away", "winter", "summer", etc, to
control programs that should fire only under certain constraints.
Given this, activating (turning on) my "away" button results in a couple of things:
•
"on" status enables my folder that includes programs that control how I want my
house to behave when I am gone and disables my folder that includes programs that
control how I want my house to behave when I am in my normal routines. For this, I
use the "away" scene, mentioned above.
•
"fast on" control triggers a program trigger which causes a whole-house off (using
the global scenes), after a time period of a few minutes. I use this when I am leaving
for vacations or other periods away of more than a couple of days.
Of course, if I forget to toggle the away button when leaving the house, I can do so via
several internet devices, including a smartphone.
