APNT-104 - Scheduling Scenes in VERA UI7

This guide shows how to create Schedules that can be used to run scenes in VERA UI7.

A Scene Schedule is used to automatically run a VERA scene at specific times, days of the week or set intervals after other events. They are one of the most useful ways to automatically control your scenes and bring real home automation to your smart home system.

For instance a schedule can automatically turn lights on at specified times Monday to Friday and then at other times during the weekend, or you could have the lights come on at Sunset and turn off at Sunrise - all automatically controlled by VERA.

Creating Schedules

Scene Schedules are created and edited in the Schedules tab within the Triggers section of the scene.

Go to the Scenes tab and click the scene's Pencil icon to allow you to edit it.

Edit Scene

Click the Pencil icon next to Select a Trigger to edit your scene’s triggers.

Edit Triggers

Click the “+” icon on the bottom to add a new Trigger and select the Schedule tab.
