ILoveControl Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Maybe a simple question but is there a variable that one can use to get specific times? What I am trying to do is run a specific announcement based on a door opening (contact) but only between specific times?
-defunct- Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Yes. Check the conditionals for the scheduler in programming in Composer HE.
eggzlot Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I've done it with T/F variables. As an example - create a variable called Door Announcement. Say you want it active from 9am to 9pm. So every day at 9am have that Variable become True and at 9pm have it switch to False. in your programming, if Variable Door Announcement is True....and if Variable Door Announcement is False....and you can program off those T/F states.
