Selecting days of the week can be accomplished just by clicking on them. The weekday, weekend, and everyday buttons just set the weekday buttons as you would expect. You can pick any combination of days; so, for example, M,W,F,Sa is acceptable. Instead of picking weekdays, you can pick Today or Tomorrow. The CP-290 will not allow you to combine Today, Tomorrow, and Security in any way (they are mutually exclusive picks.) Today events are from the CP-290 at midnight of the day they are downloaded. Note that X10Sched will remember when you used the Today option and will automatically "Freeze" the time once today is over, so things you schedule and download today won't be downloaded again tomorrow by mistake. When you pick a time, you specify hours:minutes, followed by am (optional) or pm. You can use just a or p. So, 7:55p means 7:55 pm. You can also use a twenty four hour clock notation; 19:55 is the same as 7:55 pm. You don't use am or pm with twenty four hour notation. You can leave off the minutes; 8p means 8:00pm. If you don't specify am or pm, am is assumed, so 6:30 means 6:30am. You can also choose Sunrise or Sunset. If you do, you can in addition specify a number of minutes which is added to the time of sunrise (or sunset), between -255 and 255. This is useful if, for example, a high range of mountains to your east makes apparent sunrise later than your latitude and longitude would imply. Note that, if you pick Sunrise or Sunset, you will have to download your scripts into the CP-290 periodically. The CP-290 does not have support for Sunrise/Sunset calculations, and the time X10Sched comes up with will not be valid after a few weeks. The Security feature is supported directly by the CP-290. In effect, this causes an event to occur, and then it reschedules the event by adding 37 minutes to the time; if the resulting minutes is 60 or more, it subtracts 60 from the result. So, if you schedule a daily event for 11:20am and set Security mode on it, it will occur at 11:20am today, 11:57am tomorrow, 11:34am the next day, and so on. If multiple units are controlled by a time with Security mode set, they will stay in lock step from day to day. The Random Minute feature is supported by X10Sched, not the CP-290, and operates differently. When X10sched sees a time with Random Minute set, it ignores your specified minutes value and picks a random one (00 to 59). It does this for EACH unit the event is scheduled for, resulting in a separately scheduled event for every unit involved. Note that the CP-290 doesn't know the times were generated randomly and don't continue to choose new random times each day. But, of course, if you specify both Random Minute and Security mode, you get the effect of the units turning on at different times each day, and not in lock step. If you mix Random Minute and the Sunrise/Sunset option, the effect is to ADD a random number of minutes (0 to 59) to the time chosen by the Sun code. This is not very useful unless you download your scripts frequently, thus getting a different random offset at intervals. If you choose the Freeze option, the time is remembered by X10Sched but it, and the operations scheduled with it, are NOT sent to the CP-290. This enables you to turn parts of scripts on and off without deleting pieces of them.
