Scheduled Tasks is a powerful way for non developers to configure advanced automation triggers that use time of day, house status, weather etc. as when to or not to perform a given task.
We will be continually updating this document as time permits.
House Mode:
House mode is nothing more than a server variable {{housemode}}. To set a house mode just do SetVariable|housemode~<<your mode>>
Scheduler specifically looks for house mode values of Home, Away, Vacation, Daytime, Nighttime.
You are free to define your own house modes but if you are using them with Scheduler then stick to the ones mentioned here.
The variable you set is supposed to be 'server_housemode' not 'housemode'. There is a special command to set it to:
SetHouseMode|Vacation
If you use the SetHouseMode command to set the mode then if you also have a macro called 'SetHouseMode' it will be executed. That might be useful to trigger/configure external things when changing the mode.
