So how do you configure EZServe so that say program runs at 22:00?

The values in the last post are cmd1 and cmd2 values. I don’t believe there is a way to specify an explicit cmd1 value in 02.01.

Repeating an answer I gave in the other topic about the same question. The fact that a specific command cannot be specified (which was the question) in no way means that EZFlora cannot be controlled by V2. As was noted in the other topic the V2 user guide describes the LDx values for controlling programs and valves. The Action Effect maybe another way. It would be a mistake to take the answer to a specific question and expand it as the answer to a completely different question.

Let me join the chorus of users stymied by how to set up simple sunset to sunrise timers after reading the provided download documentation (but before searching out the answers on this forum). I suggest either adding a new “simple timers” menu, or at minimum adding explicit examples in the documentation.

I also think it would be beneficial to mention how to initiate Scenes with timers, which is useful if you have more than 5 devices to action with one event.
In my case I had set up two Scenes in v1.6: NightLightsON and NightLightsOFF. The fact that you must set the attribute status to FF to initiate both a NightLightsON and NightLightsOFF scene is not documented from what I could find.

In actuality I had only 5 devices in each scene so I did not set up scenes under v2.0 and just used the 5 provided affects.
Does it provide more reliable operation to initiate multiple devices from a scene, or to have 5 sequential effect (Insteon commands) issued?

Thanks

txkoiboy, I am working on the screen captures for a Actions with an Effect of SceneX. There may be a glitch in this area as I am having trouble getting the Scene to be controlled from the Effect. As soon as I have something working I will post screen captures of the Action/Condition screens.

In concept you define a Scene with EZSrve as the controller, specifying a Unit number that is unique for EZSrve, with one or more responder devices. The responder definitions are the same as they would be if creating a Scene where a SwitchLinc was the Controller, for example. Then the Scene name is selected for the Effect.

As far as which is better, specifying individual devices or a Scene containing those devices, there are pros and cons on both sides. Specifying individual devices allows a delay in controlling one or more of the responders. The down side is you cannot get all the devices to respond together (at the same time). With a Scene, a Group Broadcast is going to be received by all the devices essentially at the same time so they all react together. They can have different Bright levels and different ramp rates, just like any other group of responders.

As far as the number of commands it is pretty close. For a Scene one Group Broadcast message is issued followed by a Group Cleanup Direct to each responder.

LOCATION SCREEN NOT WORKING UNDER IE8

I noticed that my timers were firing off 1 hour earlier. What I noticed the problem was that on the Location page that the Latitude and Longitude did not display (nor the save). Putting in my zipcode and hitting FindLocation did not appear to do anything.

I had to open up my Chrome browser to see the page correctly and get the settings entered.

(Settings are Central Timezone and zip is 77009.)

This is an example of a simple time based Action which turns On a Scene and 20 seconds later turns the same Scene Off.

The Scene name is SKeyPadLincWhiteB6 which has EZSrve as the Controller and KeypadLinc button 6 as the responder. Effect 1 turns On KPL button 6 LED and Effect 2 turns Off KPL button 6 LED.
