STEP #7
– Creating Automation Events
Simply put, an automation event consists of an action (or actions) that are set into motion by one or more triggers.
Example: Turning on lights at sunset. Trigger =
sunset, Action = turning lights on. With HomeSeer,
you can quickly and easily create all the events you
need. Here's how to create the sunset event
above:
Creating Events
a) From the web interface, use the pull down
menus to navigate to the Events page
(VIEW > Events).
b) Change the event group name from "New Group" to "Lighting".
c) Now expand the "New Event" section and rename the new event to "Lights on at Sunset"
d) In the shaded blue "Trigger" section, choose "The Time Is..." and then select "The Time is Sunset"
e) If the shaded green "Actions" section, choose "Control a Device" and then select the device you wish to control
and the method of control (on / off) you wish to use. The resulting event will look like this:
