 If you choose Vary within 10 minutes, then this entry can happen anywhere between 5:50 p.m.
and 6:10 p.m.
You can make the time vary by any amount from one to fifty nine minutes. The
Vary within
amount HCA uses for one day will never be the same as the amount chosen for the previous or
next day.
On and Off entries
A few additional points about creating On-Off entries:
 You can only select one date (which is the date for the On portion of the schedule entry) and
the On time and the Off time. You can’t create a single entry that has two different date
selections.
 The Off portion of the schedule entry always follows the On portion in time.
For example, suppose you have a schedule entry where the On portion is for 8 p.m. and the
Off portion for 1 a.m. The On portion of the schedule entry will happen at 8 p.m. and the Off
will happen five hours later (which is 1 a.m. the next day). This is very useful for creating a
single entry where On happens at sunset and where Off happens at sunrise the next day.
Creating a new schedule
Creating a new schedule is very easy. All you do is open the Schedule Wizard, give the schedule a
name, and make a few decisions about the schedule.
1. On the Home Control Assistant menu bar, click New, and then choose Schedule.
This opens the Schedule Wizard.
