Finishing Up
Now we have a working macro! Your macro is automatically saved. The
Macro Timeline shows you all of the commands in your macro, and tells
you how long it will take to complete.
If you’re done with your macro, you can go back to the room view, or
make a new macro. In addition to following the visual timeline, you can
read the text box at the bottom of the Editor window to see what’s
happening in your macros.
Step 5: Extending Over Time
One useful thing you can do with macros is use them to turn a set of lights
on for you to use them, then turn them off automatically at a time when
you’ll be done. If we add another time delay to the macro we can wait an
hour before turning everything off.
Step 6: Room Controls
In addition to individual modules, you can use room modules and
House Code modules in your macros to make it easy to turn on or off
more than one module.
In our example, we can use the Kitchen module to turn off everything
at once.
