Hello,
I have an outdoor lights setup as X10 light, and I noticed that it seems to be automagically turning on at sunset and off at sunrise. I did not however ask for this, and did not find any relevant options under the light's configuration or under timed events.
In case it matter, this light is linked to a camera (and will properly turn on or off when that camera is viewed).
Does anyone know where I can enable/disable such behavior, as I can't have all my outdoor lights on all night, or is it just a matter of not setting up that "room" as an outdoor area perhaps?
Thanks,
Jean

Hmmm... good question! I would imagine that choosing "Outdoor Area" when creating that "Room" will have created a scenario that is causing the lights added to that room to behave as they are... all the Room types have scenarios that get automatically created when you choose them. I would suggest looking at the scenarios for that room as a first line of attack. All th best Andrew |

To change this
-log into the webadmin
-choose timed events from the left panel
-On the timed events page, there should be an option to for 'advanced', click it
-the next page presented will have the timed events
-look for sunset and sunrise
-click 'edit' in the 'commands' to set what you want it to do.

Thanks both for your reply. It was indeed under Timed Events / Advanced, then click on Sunrise/Edit Commands.

golgoj4,
are you able to program a buffer in there, i.e. turn off at sunset + 3hours?

I have not tried this actually, but my initial guess would be no. The reason I say this is that when trying to use 'states' it causes my router to reload...i havent played with these in a while but i can take another look.
So currently, in my experience its a set time, not one that adjusts.

After deleting the timed events and reloading, my lights were still turning on at night the next day. So I went back to timed events, and to my surprise, the timed events turning on the lights were back. When I delete them and do a reload router, they are back.
Am I doing something wrong? How can I turn this off permanently? If LMCE is recreating these on each reload, shouldn't there be a way to make this configurable in the light's configuration (whether you want these events to be automatically created or not).
Is it just a matter of telling LMCE that this in an inside area versus outside?

UpdateEntArea creates these events automatically, and yes, it is as simple as defining it as an inside versus outside area.

Hi,
there is simple trick - don't assign lights to that room. I discovered that acccidentaly... Now I only assign lights to rooms if I want them to be the case for autogenerated scenarios....
I'm not aware of any downside of lights not being assigned...
HTH,
regards,
Bulek.

Or, just edit the scenario to do nothing.

I don't think it has anything to do being a control freak, but rather personal preference. What the automatic scenarios do is great.... for *some* people. What I would like is... if we edit a scenario the changes we make should stick and not be reset with a router reload. To me that makes LMCE seem like a control freak.  |

I tend to agree... being able to 'save-as' a modified scenario would make a lot of sense. Andrew |
