6Scheduling Groups
- Groups will control multiple devices at the same time.

- Holiday schedules do not seem to work with groups.
- The main street area group can be adjusted to turn off at different times through the normal schedules instead of using the holiday schedule.
- The main street area schedule is set to run six days a week, the same and then another schedule run Sunday. To enter another variation, uncheck a day box, and then create another schedule for that day.

- If you want to make a change mid day that restarts a decvice (s) Set the start time two minutes in the future and it will start.
- Change the schedule back to the original desired time for the next day.

9Scheduling holidays and overridesVery important know that overrides and holidays you are scheduling the time you want it to run. It always works from a base of unoccupied so normal is when you wanted to run, holiday is when you wanted to run. Don’t get confused and think that holiday is when you don’t want it to run because that’s not correct.
