Today I finally got around to correcting the programming for our outside lights, which I screwed up when we switched from summer time several weeks ago. The programming for the lights and for the outside blinds is performed by complicated sequences of button-pushes on the above controllers. The sequences are so complicated, and the handbooks so poorly written, that we usually manage to screw up the programming for at least one of the units each year. They drive me mad.
So the next time we move, there is one “must”. We are going to have lights and blinds controlled by a home automation (HA) unit which can be programmed using a personal computer using either a USB interface, or better, via a WLAN connection. At least, I hope so.
