Product Release Version 3.x.x. Home Controller Gateway User Guide operates until it is turned off or a different Schedule is activated (rather than running only on specific days). A note about scheduling conflicts: When many events are programmed for a Schedule, it is possible to have conflicting events. For example, a light may originally have been programmed to turn on at 5:00 pm and a recent addition to the schedule has the same light turning off at 5:00 pm. This will cause the light to turn on and off in 1-2 second intervals, as the Home & Away Controller System tries to accommodate both Scheduled events. To solve this problem, delete one of the conflicting events. To define a Lights and Appliance Schedule: Defining Schedules You can define schedules for Lights and Appliances or for each thermostat by day of week or for vacations. For Lights and Appliance Schedules, you add device events or Lifestyle and set times at which the events occur. By defining Lifestyles as explained in an earlier task, you can set a collection of device changes to occur at one time rather setting each event individually in the Schedule. For thermostats, you can set the time at which each Period starts and the heating and cooling set points for the periods. 1. Click the Details button in the Scheduled Control area of the Home page.

A note about scheduling conflicts
:
When many events are programmed for a Schedule, it is possible to have conflicting
events.
For example, a light may originally have been programmed to turn on at 5:00
pm and a recent addition to the schedule has the same light turning off at 5:00 pm.
This
will cause the light to turn on and off in 1-2 second intervals, as the Home & Away
Controller System tries to accommodate both Scheduled events. To solve this problem,
delete one of the conflicting events.
