gmaniax Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 hi alli wanted some feedback (is this executable script?) on this very simple script that executes a lighting scene and turns tv on and to channel 39 when garage door is opened at night (i am assuming night time means after sunset in composer). I'm trying to initiate these events so when I walk in after work after a 12 hour shift, I can plomp down and veg out with espn automaticallyif during the day, just turns the kitchen light onany thoughts on adding more useable functionality would be appreciatedthanks Gmaniax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hey Gmaniax... Do you want us to show you how to make this program or are you asking if this is feasible...What you are doing should be very easy to program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I was thinking about something like that - but i want to use some sensors to check if car is "came home" cause garage door open sensor will turn your TV on if you leave to work at 11 PM.

chambrick Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Kirill has a good point you have to think about every possible way the homeowner could cause that event to happen and make sure you program for it. In Kirill's case of leaving to work at night, off the top of my head, I would have C4 check the security system to see if it's already armed. If so then most likely someone is coming home and rather than leaving. NOTE: To make more certain of that you could have the setting of the alarm (to away mode) set a trigger after the alarm has been set for say 5 minutes. ...and when the garage door opens, if it's after dark, and if the alarm trigger is true then turn on TV.Or you could get a car sensor and put it in the garage. ...maybe not cheaper but easier implementation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
