System events
BeoLiving Intelligence produces its own set of events which are not associated to external systems.
When creating a macro, select events of type System
to get a menu of
different options.
These events are:
Setup button event
This event is generated when you make a short press on the setup button on BeoLiving Intelligence.
This is used mainly for testing macros during configuration, and is not intended for the end users.
System connection events
You can trigger a macro whenever one of the connections to the external systems changes state. For example, whenever the lighting control system disconnects.
Note that not all supported systems can detect all of the connection states.
If using this feature, please make sure to actually test your macros, and use the system logs for understanding how BeoLiving Intelligence detects each state.
Clock events
You can generate events at specific times and dates, or even relative to surnise or sunset.
For sunrise and sunset events, see the help on astronomical clock.
For absolute clock events, you can choose:
- Month
- Day of month
- Day of week
- Hour
- Minute
For each of these, you can choose any or an actual value.
For example, for having an event every wednesday at noon, select any
month
, any day of month
, Wednesday
, 12 hours
, 0 minutes
