All On Off for My Lighting

[brucesprague]

Michel....I have read everything, and tried everything, but HOW do you set up a schedule to do an ALL OFF for MY LIGHTING group? When I go into set up a schedule, My Lighting is not in the group list.....or maybe I just answered this....do I have to create a "scene" with every blessed device in it? And then, how do you schedule the ALL OFF?

thanks, Bruce

You have to create a group with "all" devices in it. I start with all the ones that will be responders then add any controller devices last.

 

I have not gotten home from work yet to test the 2.4 release with the new keypadlinc workaround that the release notes mention, but from I understand you now just drag the main load as a responder and the non-load as a controller onto the all lights group accordingly.

 

After you have created the all group then you can create a scheduled task to this new group.

 

Last you will want to make that a non-toggle button with the LED off. This will make it only function as an "all off" button.

Bruce,

 

Have you renamed My Lighting? Otherwise, it's just one of the items in the Location list (in New/Edit Schedule, at the top) alongside all other devices and scenes.

 

If you want to turn EVERYTHING off, all you need is to create a schedule for the "My Lighting" location.

 

Please let me know if you can't find it.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Oh I did not know about the "My Lighting" trick. Thanks Michel.
