The kitchen lights, for example are to be turned on for breakfast, lunch and

dinner and so each event has a schedule entry. The schedule in this case is

different according to whether it is a weekday or the weekend.

Some of the schedules are only in effect during the winter months when it is

darker later in the morning and earlier in the evening. One entry in our example

is the KitchenWeekdayDinner schedule which turns the Kitchen lights on at

dinner time and off afterwards during the week in the winter months. The

controlling Group Address is called “Winter” on application CB (the Enable

Application) and this is enabled only during the Winter months. So although the

KitchenWeekdayDinner schedule contain no limits except for the hours of

operation, it is enabled by the Winter Group Address which is only on during

that time.

In the case of all other schedules the applicable days are written in the section

with the hours. The LivingWeekendEvening and LivingWeekdayEvening

schedules have different times and days of operation but otherwise control the

same loads. Each is programmed with the relevant days during setup (in

Edit | Schedule | Edit Schedule then selecting a schedule, clicking the Edit

button and choosing the Day Tab of the schedule).

One other point regarding the actual Event being scheduled: the event can be

either Group Address related or Scene related. In the former a Group Address

is pulsed for a given period or set to a particular level. In the latter a scene is

fired at the scheduled time. Most of the schedules in our worked example are of

this type. Since more than one Group Address is involved, each of these

schedules will require a scene to turn a number of lights on and another scene

to turn a number of lights off. Thus at the commencement of the scheduled

period the “on” scene is fired and at the expiry the “off” scene is fired.
