Title: tricky smart macro
Post by: gilles on May 14, 2006, 04:33:06 PM
can you tell me how to program (the reason for that is in my country I can use my sprinkler for my garden ,only on ODD days because my street adress is 137 ) so can you give me how to program it Macros ,Smart Macros ,Timers ...
example :I want to trigger a module AM486 every odd date of the month let say 01-03-05-07 ON MAY "on" from 05:00 to 07:00 and 21:00 to 23:00

gilles: currently AHP doesn't have this capability.
There may be a way to work arround this as I worked arround a way to have things work based on my shift work( two week rotation)
I to can only water my grass ,wash my car every other day and more and more cities are adding this bylaw. :'(
Perhaps X10 can add this option (odd days /evendays)to the smartmacro plugin under "day of week conditions" . ;) :D
If you or another user comes up with a work arround in the mean time be sure to post! ;)

Do a search. Someone suggested a way to use flags to skip every other day.  Might not be ideal and you may have to set the flag initially and after months with an odd number of days but at least it would work.
