Managing Schedules and Events
For an overview, watch the video below. For details, consult the following written information and linked subsections.
Know Before Beginning
A KMC Commander schedule controls (with an optional default value) commandable points (for example, Active Cooling Setpoint) on one or more devices on a network. Particular times for the schedule to operate are controlled by events. An event controls start/stop time, priority, repetition, and the zones affected by the schedule actions.
To be able to command a point from a schedule (or card), the point must be selected in the Points of Interest column on the Assign profile to [device name] page. See Assigning Device Profiles.
KMC Commander schedules write to a default priority of 16. If a KMC Commander schedule will command a device, change the Schedule Write Priority and Holiday Schedule Write Priority in Settings > Protocols to an appropriate (higher) level for the controlled devices (see Configuring Protocol Settings). To eliminate conflict with other schedules in a device, delete, set to NULL, or set to a lower priority level any schedules internal to the device or written by another device.
Inputs cannot be controlled directly. Map an input (for example, from an STE-6020 dial setpoint on AI2 or a relay contact on B3) into an AV or BV and control the mapped value.
To change a current setpoint, command the active heating/cooling setpoint rather than the (scheduled) occupied or unoccupied heating/cooling setpoint.
