Randomize Time for Security Purposes

Featured Replies

Posted

Is it possible to randomize the time that modules are turned on or off for security purposes?

I'm looking to turn off my lights at night randomly between 12:01am and 12:59am but I'm not sure how to program that in my ISY-99i.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, DeLo

There is a "random" box that you can check on the "wait" and "repeat" commands.

 

So, write your program to execute at some time, say 8pm, then the first "then" line is a wait command for say 20 minutes. Then put a line to do something like turn a light on.

 

The result will be that the light will turn on at some random time between 8 and 8:20.

 

If
       Time is  8:00:00PM

Then
       Wait  20 minutes  (Random)
       Set 'Light' On

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