Using Event Engine (HS3)

Information on using the event engine in HS3.

An automation event consists of an action (or actions) that are set into motion by one or more triggers.

Example: Turning on lights at sunset. 

Trigger = sunset
Action = turning lights on

With HomeSeer, you can quickly and easily create the events you need. Here's how to create the sunset event above.
