Herb,

Here, in all its glory, is the script that I wrote:

var myTime = GUI.getDisplayTime();
if(myTime.substring(2, 3) == ":") {myHour = myTime.substring(0,2);}
else if(myTime.substring(1, 2) == ":") {myHour = myTime.substring(0,1);}
myHour=1*myHour;
if (myHour<7 || myHour>=18) {CF.widget "Night","Components","Macros").executeActions();}
else {CF.widget("Day","Components","Macros").executeActions();}

Why the myHour=1*myHour? I assume you are trying to ensure that myhour is a number and not a string holding a numeric value?

Javascript will do the conversion automatically when it does the comparson between the numeric as a string (myHour) and the numeric constants 18 and 7. The only time Javascript gets "confused" is with the "+" operator as that one is overloaded to mean addition or concatenation. Things like "Text"+a+b may produce unintended results if a and b are strings containing numbers and addition was meant for the second "+".

The fastest conversion is myHour=myHour-0 as subtraction is much faster than multiplication.

Barry,

Ok, good to know.

Hi,

This is possible in this remote as we can fix the time of the day and then can be automated according to it. it works perfectly as I have used it .

why did you include a link to a real estate site on this site? Are you trying to advertise you real job. I believe that is against the rules. I see that this is your first post so either you fat fingered it or you should be hanging out at a real estate forum

As a follow on to this thread - is it possible to create a crontab like system so that the Pronto while sitting there peacefully in the charger can act as, say, an X10 trigger to turn on exterior lighting? (for example that is).

TIA!
