how does mode scheduling work?

Post by hooma » Sat Jul 01, 2017 4:08 pm

Is there a manual/tutorial on the scheduling the modes?
1. If for all weekdays, I want night mode on from 11PM until 7am, away mode to start at 7AM and run until 6PM and home mode to run from 6P until 11PM. What times do I put into each mode?
2. How does this react if I manually change the mode? Ex. at 11AM I change from Away to home. Will it automatically go back to my daily schedule at some point?
3. If I want a different daily schedule for weekends, do I need to create three custom weekend modes (e.g. weekend night, weekend away, weekend home).

1. A newer version of the app will make this easier, but the times you would put in are:
away mode: 7am weekdays
home mode: 6pm weekdays
night mode : 11pm weekdays

2. Yes, as soon the clock reaches the start time of a mode that mode will become active

3. Just add mode start times for weekends. Or do it e.g. this way:

home mode: 6am every day, 6pm weekdays
away mode: 10am weekdays
night mode: 11pm every day

Just draw 7 time lines on a piece of paper for the days of the week and then mark with different color pen which mode you want to start when, then input those start times into the app marking all the days for which they apply. Only restriction of course is that only one mode can start at any one time.
