Home, Away and Party modes

[mitch236]

I'm sure there's an easy way to do this but this is my question:

 

How would I structure my Programs so that I can easily change the entire set of programs based on whether I'm home or away? Also, when we entertain, I wouldn't want certain programs to run, is there any easy way to setup a Party mode where I could decide what programs run? I was thinking about using Folders to organize the three modes and then keep the programs I want to run within the folders but how would I set up the Folder so it would only run when I wanted it to?

Yep that'd work.

 

By default a folder is "enabled" by having nothing in its if statement. If you want to run on a condition you could create a program in the main list and use it as a flag/condition for the party folder.

 

You could either set the "status program" with proper if conditions, or just setup its conditions to always be true and enable/disable it as required.

I think many of us use keypadlinc buttons as conditions for running programs...an away button, party button, late button, etc....

 

Use the folders and look for KPL button status would be a viable option.
