Types of Automated Activities
There are several types of Automated Activities that may be programmed. Each is different in its intended function, but they are all programmed similarly.
- Turn off all devices in this room:
- This type is intended to do just what it says; Turn off all programmed devices in the room with only one button press. This activity is only programmed to the Off button and will be activated whenever that button is pressed. The remote control display will return to the Entertainment Menu when the automation completes.
- Build an automated activity on an Entertainment/Home page device:
- This type is intended to send multiple commands to one or more devices with only one button press, so that the device or devices are ready to use. This automated activity can be programmed to any device button on the Entertainment Menu, and selected buttons on the Home menu. When the automation completes the remote control screen will change to displaying the device commands for the primary device associated with the button.
- Build an automated activity on a new Entertainment page button:
- This type is nearly identical to the previous one. There are two main differences. First, this type is programmed onto a new Entertainment Menu button which you will create for it when you start. Second, it can be programmed to make the remote control screen change to any device in the room when the automation completes, or it may remain on the Entertainment Menu.
- Build a Scheduled Entertainment Event:
- This type is nearly identical to the previous one. However, this type of activity may be scheduled to occur automatically at a certain time of day, on one or more different days of the week.
