Power outage

[jem]

When the power goes out for an extended period of time. Are there any tricks to getting the controllers back to there programming schedules. If my power goes out at 4am and the system shuts down. When the power is restored at 10am, the outside lights will still be on. Is there a way of correcting this?

Write a little script that runs "when the project is loaded" to ensure the system is where you want it - 1st position lets call it.

In Programming, click on the Project Name at the very top to reveal "When Project is loaded" for programming. There you can send program something that will reset your system lighting if you want. Just be sure to think it through a bit, as this programming will happen once the project comes back online - which could be at ANY time of day.

How could this be programmed? The controller would have to know which schedule to go back to. Is there a way to program "if the time is < 5am execute schedule X"

There isnt a time variable in the programming is there?

Thanks. I found it!

In the bottom right under Scheduler. In the conditionals tab there is an option for "Day Time" and "Night Time". What are the times for these selections. Is "Day Time" and "Night Time" option controlled by the sunrise and sunset times?
