Randomize Time for Security Purposes

[DeLo]

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')

Perfect!!! I'll try it later tonight and see how it goes.

 

Thanks so much for the quick response.
