Cool! So the time offset can be customized per scene! If I want it only +/- 5 minutes on one light, but +/- 20 minutes on another, I have that option!

Really nice! Thanks!

What is the value used for Random Offset? Is there a way to change the default?

Previously coming from HomeSeer, I could set the offset to be +/- xx Minutes in the main Options, then Events had a checkbox to use the random offset. So If I set it to 17 minutes, the random offset was +/- 17 minutes.


This is assuming you are talking about the "Offset Minutes" of a scene time trigger. If you put in a value of 17, it would be randomly offset 0 to 17 minutes randomly. If you put in a time of 9:00, then your scene could trigger any time between 9:00 and 9:17. If you needed it to work like Homeseer and be a -17 to +17, then you could do this:

- Time: 8:43
- Offset: 34

This would make it trigger anytime between 8:43 and 9:17.
