Having the ability to enable a timer on a specific day of the week at a given time is OK up to a point.If I could combine this with specific date ranges it becomes so much more useful.
It would be so much more convenient too if I could set the month and day of the holiday entries via the app, as the dates change every year. This avoids having to use comfigurator to do it, and means even the tech-challenged members of the family can do it.
Some example's of what I want to do :When we are on holiday we have a neighbour feed our animals, and they need to access some of our outbuildings too.Currently they come in the house and turn the alarm off whilst here, and reset it afterwards (when they remember :-/ )Add to this, during our summer holidays we have a chap come and mow the lawns and paddock. He needs different access, so I could set a different holiday.
I am working on responses triggered by timers when holidays are set to check the alarm is reenabled, or disable door and movement on the specific areas (I have considered partitions, but they don't quite work how I want either - if I turn the alarm off in the house I want all partitions to go off - other partitions are sub regions not separate regions)
Finally, at this time of year we want certain outdoor lights to be on from sunset for a few weeks.
Not being able to differentiate between the holidays isn't a massive problem, but it would avoid having to alter responses. Maybe this isn't the best way to do it, but this is only a wish after all
Or maybe all I need is for partitions to work differently...Many thanks.
