You may want to have certain settings only during the summer, for
example, or perhaps only on during the two weeks you're on vacation.
When you set a date, ActiveHome Pro still checks against the days of the
week (see below), so it's possible to have something only active on
Sundays in November.
Days of the Week
You don't use your house the same way every day of the week, and
ActiveHome Pro is designed to reflect that. It's easy to set timers that are
only active on certain days, or only on Weekends.
Use the checkboxes to select individual days of the week, or click on one
of the buttons to pick one of the preset selections. If you click "Today" or
"Tomorrow" the date (see above) will also be changed.
Brightness Level
If you are setting a timer for a module that can be dimmed, then
you'll also have the option to choose its brightness. This slider works
just like the slider in the Room View.

Special Options
When you create a timer, you have three options for
how it runs:
Security tells ActiveHome Pro to randomly adjust
the timer so that it runs up to 30 minutes before or
30 minutes after the scheduled
time.
automatic lights look more natural when you're away from home, so
that they deter criminals.
Store in Interface will make ActiveHome Pro save the timer's
schedule in the ActiveHome Pro Interface memory, so that it runs
even when your computer is turned off. This option is selected by
default.
Repeat indicates to ActiveHome Pro that the command for this timer
should be sent multiple times when it runs. Use this option if you
know that sometimes X10 command signals don't get through to
your models.
Dusk and Dawn
ActiveHome Pro contains information about the rising and setting of
the sun all over the world. You can use that information to set lights
that automatically adjust to later sunset times in the summer, and
shorter days in the winter.
In order to use Dusk and Dawn settings you should set your city or latitude
and longitude information in the Configuration menu.
