anon2828 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Scheduling Frustration - So automation is automation, but sometimes you don't want it. Take today - having an outdoor get together. Lighting set for just that. Then come 11pm all of the lights and shades turn off because they are scheduled to. Cue going into C4 and manually turning everything back on /up... So - is there a program/macro/whatever that you can turn on to disable all schedules and have that as a button on Control4??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 You should configure a custom button for override and in your schedule event check state before running the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samrwalker Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I use an experience button to trigger a variable called “entertain” Anything they could be a problem while entertaining checks to see if that variable is true before executing.

anon2828 Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 msgreenf - I like your solution - care to provide just a little more detail as to how to do it - not sure I know how to do a "check state" in programming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 You use the on-off experience button and then program in your schedule if the experience button is on run your schedule and if it's off you just do nothing. That's how I would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Our scheduler app for T3 / T4 touchscreens allows you to manage schedules easily including temporarily disabling them and setting once off schedules. http://www.chowmainsoft.com/scheduler-control4-driver Matt Lowe and Andrew luecke 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first line in your programming for a schedule would be "If experience button|variable is true, than stop" blocking all the programming below the first line from running. So if you had multiple scenes, sprinklers, etc that run, you would have each have the same first line to check if they should. And then maybe reset the experience|variable automatically at 4:00 am or something if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon2828 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Awesome - thanks - alanchow - can that scheduler app work off of the Navigator running on iOS as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lowe Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 there is a security light driver that would be great for this. then with a variable you can set the lights to turn off at a later time or such. I personally use timers for my outside lighting. based on motion and security sensors they will automatically turn off when we are not outside.

anon2828 Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Out of curiosity what is going on in the Touchscreen that cannot be accomplished in the iOS version of Navigator, or is it just a licensing issue for C4 to get people to purchase T3/T4s?

I assume that there is a url that you could use to access this in a web browser? Although, if so, this would only work on a local network or via a VPN?

anon2828 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 OK - I need a little more help figuring this out. GOAL: Use a Custom Button called "Follow Schedule" with Button 1: ON; Button 2: OFF IF Custom Button Follow Schedule is ON -> THEN complete schedule (using this with lighting and shades using the Scheduler Agent); IF Custom Button Follow Schedule is OFF -> THEN STOP (or don't run schedule) I've created the Custom Button under Agents with "ON" (Button 1) and "OFF" (Button 2) but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the IF statements into the Programming under Scheduler. I see under Actions that I have Custom Buttons, but there is are "no Conditionals for the selected item" on that tab... I am sure I am missing some critical step or logic in how this is done. A little help in the right direction would be appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Use a sanerio UI button. Not a custom button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon2828 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Where do I get a Scenario Button? I am looking under Agents and I do not have that option. When to Add an Agent and searched for that term and don't see it available... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 there is no agent - search drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
