Chapter 7
Schedules and Schedule Entries
Now that you’ve created some devices, you might want to set up a schedule or two for the control
of them.
Controlling devices in your home at various times throughout the day is one of the central uses for
the Home Control Assistant. With HCA you can create multiple schedules, each one fitting a
different aspect of your home life. For example, you may want a schedule that turns lights on and
off in your home while you are away, to provide the house a lived-in look. But having that
schedule current while you are home could be annoying. Regardless of whether you are home or
not, you might like to have your outside lights and a few interior ones come on at dusk. You may
also want a schedule that you use when you entertain, so lights stay on a bit longer than normal at
night.
This chapter discusses schedules and schedule entries, how to use the Visual Scheduler and a
Wizard to automatically create schedules with entries that make your home look lived in. Sections

 About schedules and schedule entries
