Automating lamps
This step-by-step plan explains programming time automation for the lamps in the living room.
The starting point for this plan is a project which already encompasses Project information, which involves a signed or uploaded plan and where several inputs, outputs and actions have already been added.
Run through the steps in Adding a new project and then Drawing a plan or Upload a background image if there is no existing project.
Go to the Creation tab in the menu at the top of the screen.
Click on add an action.
Drag the action to a logical and appropriate place.
Give the action a name.
Choose a location from the list of options or add a location if the location has not been previously defined.
Click on continue.
