I have an interesting one that hoping someone more creative with RM than I am may have a good solution.
I have motorized shades in HE. I have RM set on Mon-Fri open fully at a specific time and then readjust to half open at a different time.
Sat and Sun do the same thing but at later times.
There are days during the work week where I would like it to treat it like it is a weekend and do the later opening…..I.e. no school days or days like today 3rd of July….id like to have the blinds open on a weekend schedule even though it is Friday.
My current thought is a virtual switch. And incorporate that in the logic to the effect of:
If 6am and weekday AND switch off, go full open.
If 9am and (weekend OR Switch is on) go full open.
Is there a more efficient or better way to do this?

Sound approach. Don’t over think it.

Yeah. Sometimes there are situations like this that there are little features in HE that account for it or smarter logic folks than I know better ways.
Thanks! Now my next step is to incorporate variables that I can enter via dashboard to say “turn the switch on for xxx hours”. So for instance on Wednesday of Thanksgiving weekend I could says “switch on for 48hrs”
Don’t forget to prevent your daily check from overriding the 48 hour hold.
(Maybe a “holding=true/false” variable?)

I have a similar setup and have my rule check a VS that is controlled by the google calendar integration that looks for a specific word (in this instance it’s day), I have incorporated all public holidays into that calendar so the shutters open at a later time
