Chapter 8 – Visual Scheduler
10 The Home Control Assistant
The Simulation View shows the schedule sorted by when entries happen and what happens at that
time.
You can change what the period that the simulation shows, choose one of the three simulation
option checkboxes in the ribbon.
The Visual Scheduler and the Schedule Entry Wizard
The last topic to discuss is not exactly about the Visual Scheduler alone, but rather how the Visual
Scheduler interacts with the Schedule Entry Wizard. While the Visual Scheduler is active, you
still have access to all HCA commands. You can use the wizard to create new schedule entries. If
the entries you create with the wizard are for the schedule that the Visual Scheduler is displaying,
new time markers appear when the wizard is finished. You can create new devices, and new time
bars appear. If you delete schedule entries, devices, programs, or groups, time bars may disappear.
Example
Suppose you are using the Visual Scheduler to look at schedule entries that happen every day.
1. You use the Schedule Entry Wizard to create a new schedule entry for a device that has a time
bar shown in the Visual Scheduler. (Remember that you do have access to all the HCA
commands while using the Visual Scheduler.)
2. Using the wizard, you select Every Day for the date part of the new entry.
When you complete the wizard, a new time marker is drawn on the device’s time bar at the
location that corresponds to the time in the schedule entry you created. If you created an On-Off
entry, two new time markers are drawn.
