Timers, alerts and date ranges

Timers Alerts Date ranges

One timer per wait in a rule, one alert per notification, one range per date condition. Lowering a count takes away the highest-numbered ones, and the rules using them stop finishing.

Modes, numbers and more House modes Each has up to 8 states, such as Home, Away and Night. Numbers A number you set, such as a target temperature; Home shows it as a light's brightness. Counters For “the 3rd time within 10 minutes”. Power back 1 adds a button pressed a minute after the helper starts. Web addresses Each is a button that anything on the home network can press. Weather 1 adds the outside temperature, “rain soon” and “frost tonight”. The app sets where you live. Comparisons For “warmer inside than outside”. Made-up sensors Such as the average of three rooms, or how long the heater has run today.

All 0 unless you use them. Zoxobit sets these up for you when a rule needs one; Home shows each as an accessory of the helper.

HomeKit bridge and discovery Run the HomeKit bridge, for devices Home can't reach by itself Bridge TCP port Look for devices on the network at start and every 6 hours Battery camera picture, in minutes How long Home keeps showing a Reolink battery camera's still picture before waking the camera for a new one. Each wake uses some battery, and at night a camera with a spotlight may turn it on. 0 gets a new one every 10 seconds while Home is open. Live view and recordings aren't affected.

Graphs Graphs to keep, in hours How far back the dashboard's and the Home tab's graphs go: 48 is two days, 168 a week. They're kept on this computer, so a restart doesn't clear them.

Updates Look for a newer version once a day

It only asks zoxohome.com which version is the latest, and tells you here when there's a newer one. Nothing is installed until you choose Update.

Takes effect when the helper next starts.
