    I have just set up lights, heating controls.
    Most just want the system to trigger outside lights and that in an alarm condition.
    The calendar is on the list to be added so that will be a nice add on when ever it comes about.

    at the moment its a very basic simple calendar . e.g. light triggered by motion only activate at night. event timers are chosen MTWTFSS at certain times.

    Is it just weekly timers? Is there any options for different times for different weeks or exception days? This would be ideal if you wanted to add heating control etc.
    I have a fair bit of home automation set up on my system. It allows a calander with 4 on off for each day.,3 defined week types plus exception days and holidays. Any interesting thing I set up is to turn the heating off fully if the system is full set or turn off after a period of time if night set. It also switches the heating off if a number of windows or door are open longer that a defined period. The possibilities are endless once you get into it.
