“Scenes” (also sometimes referred to as “Routines”) allow you to create custom rules for your system. They follow a pattern of “If this, then that” logic, where a “Trigger” needs to occur in order for an “Action” to happen. Here’s an example of what we mean: 

• I want my system to arm to “Away” mode at 10:00 AM every day. 
• The “Trigger" is 10:00 AM every day, and the “Action” is to arm “Away.”
•  

There are also “Conditions” that are still in development. Please ignore anything labeled “Conditions” at this time.

With the number of “Actions” and “Triggers” available, this function may seem a little overwhelming at first; however, we have created a Recipe book for some of the more common Scenes you would wish to use.
