Schedules

PreviousScenesNextLightcloud Gateway

Last updated 6 years ago

Schedules allow users to specify dates, times and recurrence patterns for changing the settings of your lighting zones.

You will start with a blank schedule by default.

Choose a name for your schedule, such as "Weekly Schedule."

Time & Date

Next, select the time and recurrence for your schedule. Click "Edit" next to "Select Time."

From here you can choose the exact time you want your scheduled event to happen.

Sunrise/Sunset (Astronomical Clock)

You can also schedule events relative to sunrise and sunset times, calculated automatically according to the location of your Site. Choose an amount of time before or after sunrise or sunset for the event to occur.

Recurrence

By default, event recurrence is "Daily." Using these options, you can also specify events to recur weekly, monthly, yearly, or once on a specific date.

Weekly

The "Interval" option specifies how many weeks (or days, etc.) apart the event will occur.

Monthly

Select one or more days of the month for your event to occur on, such as "Every 9th day" or "Every 1st and 14th days".

Yearly

Recurrence Range

Event

Click on a Zone or Scene to add it to your Event.

Multiple Events

Save & Activation

Clicking the toggle button to the left of the schedule name will deactivate or reactivate it.

Select multiple days of the week to have your event occur on those days every week.

Note that not all months have 30th and 31st days, and thus will not fire every month.

Yearly recurrences allow for annual schedules, such as fixed-date holidays.

To specify start and end dates for your recurrence pattern, click on "Range."

To specify what happens at your schedule dates & times, create an Event. An Event consists of one or more Zone settings or Scene selections. Click "Edit" to the right of "Select Event."

You will see an expandable list of all Areas.

Click on an Area to see a list of Zones and Scenes applicable to that Area.

Optionally, you can add multiple events to occur together in your schedule. Click "Add" to the right of "Add Event" and follow the same procedures above.

When finished, be sure to save your schedule by clicking the blue "Save" button.

Your schedule will be active by default and appear in the left column of the Schedules view.
