Triggering a 'Hold' on Certain Programs

[sfhutchi]

Any example on how to use the 'program' functionality to hold certain programs? For example, if I had a button set to 'vacation' or 'away' and I wanted this to trigger a hold on certain programs like daily timed activities inside the house.

Have a look at the Office Hours hold example (http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=272).

 

Instead of using a schedule, use a button as the condition.

 

To allow triggers to run during Vacation, test:

If
       Program 'Vacation' is True

To prevent them from running during Vacation, test:

If
       Program 'Vacation' is False

 

Program 'Vacation'

If
       Control 'Vacation Button' is On

Then
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Finally
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
