My nightly cron included (I didn't have a garage door ) a script to
make sure appropriate lights were off, I'd make all the lights come on
that were turned on with motion sensors brighten to 50% and dim back to
0%. The software would tell you the state of a given module with the
status command.<br>
<br>
I had an 'away' routine (because of my guys night out crew but thats a
different post) that would turn on and off certain lights in the house
to make it look lived in, rather than one light coming on and staying
on for several hours and then turn off. I would turn on a light in the
living room starting at around 8:30pm in the summer. I'd let that run
until about 10:30pm, then I would turn on the hall light for 10
minutes, and I'd have my bedroom light on the nighttable come on until
11:15. This simulated a night routine I normally would have. It was
VERY effective, especially if I left my truck in the laneway.<br>
<br>
When I get home from work, I'll dig around and find all my old
software. I had started writing preliminary docs trying to plan things
like motion sensors and one for switches, and all kinds of things.<br>
Basically I used all the module numbers and letters in seperate areas to make good structure.<br>
