Send an Email will send an email to a chosen recipient. The recipients showing in the drop-
down box must be created in Setup Email before an action can use them.
*Please do not use special characters (<, >, #, etc.) in the email subject or body, or end the
message body with a period (.).
Sequences Page
The sequences page shows existing sequences that have been created and also allows you to
create new sequences. A sequence is a list of outlets that will be turned on or off in a
predetermined way with a certain delay time between each step. Using sequences avoids
manually turning each outlet on or off one at a time.
A sequence, as defined for this product, is purely a one-way sequence. That is, you do not use the
same sequence to turn outlets on as you use to turn the same outlets off in reverse order. One
sequence must be created for the turn-on function, and then a second sequence must be created
for the turn-off function.
To create a new sequence, press the Add button. This brings you to the Sequence Configuration
page. The new sequence must first be given a unique name. This name should clearly indicate
what the sequence will do, such as “All On”, “All Off” or “Stage Equipment On”. The name you
give each sequence will appear in the Actions Page when a sequence is selected as an action.
There can be up to 20 steps in a single sequence. Select the time delay from the “Delay Time”
column. Select the outlet from the “Item To Change” column. Select whether this is to turn off or
turn on from the “State” column. When the sequence is complete, press the “Save” button.
To run a sequence to test it, click on “Test”. To delete a sequence, click on “Delete”.
*Time delay is specified from the previous sequence item, not from the initial starting point. For
example, creating a sequence with “#1, 1 second, Outlet 1, On” and “#2, 1 second, Outlet 2,
On” will turn on Outlet 1 after 1 second, and Outlet 2 on 1 second after Outlet 1 has turned on.
This sequence will not turn on both Outlets 1 and 2 at the same time.
Schedules Page
The schedules page displays existing schedules, and allows for the creation of new schedules. A
schedule is very similar to an action, except that the event takes place at a predetermined date
and time. There are two types of scheduled event: Single and Repeating. A single scheduled
event executes once, at a specified date and time; a repeating scheduled event executes at a
specified time on specific days.
To create a new single scheduled event, press “Add Single Event”. This will open the Single
Schedule Configuration page. Similarly, to create a new repeating scheduled event, press “Add
Repeating Event”, which will open the Repeating Schedule Configuration page.
