Sequences; Creating A Sequence - Webdyn home Installation Manual

8 Sequences

A sequence is a set of commands that are launched by a predetermined trigger
event. The Webdynhome supports to types of sequence, simple sequences and
conditional sequences.
Simple sequences require the exact definition of two elements : the trigger event and
the action(s) that should be performed once the sequence has been activated.
Conditional sequences require the definition of four elements : the trigger event, the
condition(s) that must be met in order to consider the sequence conditions valid, the
list of actions in the valid case and the list of actions should the condition(s) not be
met.
In order to better understand the Webdynhome sequence mechanisms a few
definitions will help :
The 4 trigger types : Manual (web page click), date/time, physical input, selection of
a zone.
Condition : The result of the comparison between a specified value and a real
status. The currently supported sources are : a defined timeslot and the condition of a
physical input.
Relationship between conditions : Up to four conditions may be linked together
using the Boolean operators AND, OR, XOR. The result is compared to provide the
input for the if and else lists of actions.
If : If the relationship between the conditions is met then this sequence of events will
be executed by the Webdynhome.
Else : If the relationship between the conditions is not met then this sequence of
events will be executed by the Webdynhome.
The principle for defining a sequence is always the same :
Choose a name that is representative (e.g. Sprinkler on)
Choose the manner in which the sequence will be launched (trigger type)
Determine whether the sequence will be conditional or not
Define in an ordered manner the list of commands that you wish the
Webdynhome to execute once the sequence is launched.
