Schedule when holiday timer plan is active

[Ingmar]

Since a couple of days I'm looking into the holiday vs default timer mode. I think that the option is great and works good.

What I'm missing though, is a date/period you can enter for the holiday timer mode to be active. E.g. I'm now thinking about setting timers for the holiday, but I have to remember that activating the holiday mode is the last thing i need to do before actually leaving the house. So if I forget, my holiday timers aren't set.


It would be perfect if you can set a date/time to activate holiday mode, and a date/time to deactivate holiday mode (and thus switch back to default mode). That way I can sort the timers for the holiday now already, and I don't need to worry that I might forget to change the setting before leaving the house.

Does anyone recognize this? Or is there already a handy workaround? I couldn't find anything with the search though...

then you login remotely, and set the holiday mode (or normal mode)

Yeah but I can't and don't want to be able to login from outside my network

Dear G

What we need :

When using great Google calendar lua script is : when it's write on holyday, set timer off a kind of groupe predfine before (bathroom heating, ventilation, jaccuzi light, but keep champagne cold, keep jacuzzi pump, prépare hotwater after travelling.

"Just" a mark on each planer to able and unable the ensemble, device by device and a way to drive it with LUA or JSON update or blocky.

Please please please

I think you can do whatever you want with Google calendar. Took a look at their API yesterday and 90 minutes later I had it fully functional for switches, dimmers (set %, wake- and sleep) and setpoints

I got baak'ones, on/off dim is OK, i'm driving an house at 300km from me and me familly with it,

He allow lot of variables but dont fins a way to just active or desactive timers for a device did you ?

All my schedules are in one PHP script and depends on two virtual switches: home and sleep.
Now, with Google Calendar I can overrule that schedule and set heating and lights from gcalendar.
I wanted this for the heating of my sons room. It's perfectly scheduled according the 2 weekly schedule but with the holidays coming up I needed an easy way to have heating on other days also.
Now with the calendar I only have to make some appointments with 'Setpoint Tobi 18' as subject and done

Timers can also be set and removed with the json api, could also be done from Google calendar and some php then.

Thanks for your input, as i just check again after reading you : Timer can only be drive for scene not for single device.

Did you share your PHP on scripts section ?
