I want to know if it is possible to create an event that turns on a lighting scene if an alarm system is disarmed after sunset? I see that I am able to create a daily event in Integration Designer that specifies a certain time before or after sunrise/sunset but am not sure if I can tie that to a driver command for a partition disarm so that it is only executed after dark. Anyone do anything like this before? If so, any advice would be appreciated!


Products in use are:
RTI XP6
Lutron RadioRa
DSC Power Series PC1616

Best,

Nevermind... found out that in the system macro that you assign to the "partition disarm" event, you can wrap the command to turn on the lights in a "Time Range Test" that checks for the time being between sunset and sunrise. The event will fire at any time of the day, but the test will keep the lighting command from running during the day.

Exactly.... This goes for any if then statements for events. Make the event trigger based on what the status change then the macro that runs from it do the system variable test so for example:

Event when front door opens run macro

If partition 1 armed turn off light.

Now the event only turns the light on if the alarms on and the front door opens. You could even then put a time test in this to have that even only occur at night
