Suppose for this example, that the “Office Off” scene is scheduled for 10:05pm. This happens at that
time each day. Also suppose that on some occasions you don’t want that to happen – you want to
override the Gateway scheduler.
To do that you can program a PulseWorx keypad to have a button that acts as an override. If you
configure the button as a toggle button then when the button is off – the keypad button LED shows off
– and you press it then the override scene is activated – the button LED comes on – and the Gateway
schedule entry is disabled.
When you press the button again the override scene is deactivated – the keypad button LED goes off –
and the Gateway is back in control.
In this example that button would activate and deactivate the “Late Night Return” scene.
To edit a schedule entry
To edit a schedule entry, select it in the schedule entry list and press the “Edit” button. Or double-click
on the schedule entry in the list. The same dialog used for adding a new schedule entry appears. Make
any changes and press OK.
To delete a schedule entry
To delete a schedule entry, select it in the list and press the “Delete Selected” button. The schedule
entry is removed.
Single device control
One of the “issues” that you may find in using the scheduler in the Gateway is that you are not
scheduling devices but scenes. While initially you may consider this a limitation it really isn’t. For any
device that you want to schedule individually just create a scene that is only in the Receive
Components table of that one device and then schedule that scene.
It may be convenient to develop and use a naming convention for those single device scenes. For
example if an installation has devices “up hall lights”, and “entry lights” that you want to schedule in
this way, one naming convention would be to create scenes with either the same name as the device
or prefixed with “device”. For example the scenes could be called “up all lights” and “entry lights” or
“device up hall lights” and “device entry lights”. Using the “device” prefix convention might make it
easier to locate those single device scenes in the schedule scene name selection.
