The Scenarios section of the EnergyManagerPro

To create a new scenario, click on the New button. The New Scenario window will open, allowing the user to define a Name, Description, Color or to define signal triggers.

Creating a new scenario

Fill out the Name and Description text fields and select the desired Color for the scenario. The Locked for non-admins option is available, and will protect the scenario from being edited by a non-administrator user.

The Define signal trigger option allows the user to add an additional condition to the scenario, by using a Startup trigger (condition that starts the scenario) and a Shutdown trigger (condition that stops the scenario).

The Load button (below the Shutdown trigger) loads the currently defined locations. In our case, the location is Room1. This will apply the current scenario to the location.

The Teach on save option loads the scenario when saving it. This means that the scenario is to be executed when the conditions are met.

In the Default Scenarios section, the user can define a default scenario that will be active when no other scenario is active. The scenario has to be created first, in the Scenarios section.

Default scenarios

In our case, if the scenario is LightOn, the default scenario will be LightOff. To add a default scenario, select New from the top bar.

New default scenario

The New Default Scenario window allows the user to select a default scenario from the Scenario list, set the Start Time and the End Time of the default scenario, as well as selecting the days of the week when the scenario will be active as default.

The default scenario can be edited or deleted using the top bar buttons.

In the ScenarioManagerPro section, the defined scenarios can be scheduled to start and stop at a pre-defined time and date. Additional, the scenarios can have triggers that will start/stop the scenario when the conditions are met.

Scheduling the scenarios

To start a scenario immediately, click on the Start Scenario button. The Start Scenario window will open, allowing the user to select the desired scenario and the end time of the scenario.

Starting scenario

To schedule a scenario, right-click on the desired day and select Schedule Scenario. The Schedule Scenario window lets the user choose the scenario and the Start Time/End Time of the execution. Also, the user can choose the days of the week when the scenario will be applied.

Scheduling a scenario

Once scheduled, the scenario will be visually represented in the ScenarioManagerPro main view.

To delete a scheduled scenario, right-click on a day that runs that scenario and select Unschedule Scenario. This operation will delete the scenario from the selected day. If the scenario time frame is more than a day, each day must be cleared in order to fully delete the scenario.

The History section displays the past actions of EnergyManagerPro. The main view contains a three columns table, displaying the Timestamp, the User and the Action Description for each executed action.

The History section

The sort order of the logs can be changed using the table headers. The bottom bar holds the page numbers.
