Hi guys!

I am very new to all this and I thank you all very much for you help.

I was wondering how i could program a timer for a light.

I/E I run the program and it is set to turn a light on for say 5 min then shut it off?

I am very new at this only had the unit a few days.

Thanks

Tony

What action do you want to trigger the light, a specific time, a motion sensor, etc?

Here is a really simple example:

 

Test - [iD 0016][Parent 0001]

If
        Time is  7:00:00PM


Then
        Set 'Side Door' On
        Wait  5 minutes 
        Set 'Side Door' Off


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

In addition to Bill Morrow (above), you can add specific days to your time (look for the options) and if you make sure your time zone and lat/long is set correctly you should also find

 

If

....sunset + 1 hour 15 minutes

I just wanted to run the program via my echo.

if i leave the if blank would that work?

is there a pdf on programing?

thanks everyone

There must be code lines in your program for it to perform anything.

 

The "If" section may be left blank.

To connect your Echo into ISY, it is easiest and most powerful to use the ISY Portal for $49 per two years.

Asking Alexa to turn the program name On will run THEN. Off will run ELSE. No condition (IF) is required. Here's an example:

 

Movie Time
If
   - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')
 
Then
        Set Scene 'LR / Scenes / LR Audio Power' Off
        Set Scene 'LR / Scenes / LR Movie Time' Off
        Run Program 'LR Begin Movie 1' (Then Path)
 
Else
        Set Scene 'LR / Scenes / LR Movie Time' On
        Run Program 'LR End Movie 0' (Then Path)
 
 

is there a pdf on programing?

There is a user manual and wiki.  Both available here:

It never stops. By the time you get confident with that you will bite off so much more!
