A
mode represents a general condition that may affect many macros. For
instance, maybe you have a bunch of macros that you like to have happen when
you're at home, but you don't want to needlessly run up your electric bill if
you're not home. And maybe you have some other macros for security
purposes that you only want to happen when you're away. Some macros you'll
want to happen regardless of whether you're home or away. You can easily
add an "Away" mode and set all the macros that should only trigger
when you're away to only allow them to be triggered when that mode is active,
and for the macros that should only be allowed to trigger when you're home, you
can set them up to not be allowed to trigger when the away mode is active.
Nothing needs to be done with modes for macros that you want to happen
regardless of the state of any mode.
Click Add to add a mode. Either double click on an item in the list or select it and click Change to change the mode. Select an item and click Delete to get rid of those modes that just don't belong anymore.
