Holiday app / anti burglary
Hi,
Did anyone already made an app for a holiday (or out of house mode)
Something like the heating schedule that can set temperatures at a specific time but then for lights, blinds, etc
I can make flows (and activate them with a virtual device) for each room to switch on and off at specific times but that is a lot of work especially when you want different times and lights for each day of the week.
I Looked at the available apps but couldn't find any

You can switch all lights in a certain zone, and could do this randomized. This way you only need 1 flow for an anti burglary mode.
When I am at home I see it works and sometimes override the defaults or adjust (optimize) the working. No updates or changes in the last week, auto updating is disabled.
When on holiday everything goes on as normal.
Burglars can't notice I am away because of lights always off, on an exact schedule or blinds closed for days... everything continues as normal.
Only change when we are not at home and the doorbell is pressed they hear a dog barking ;-)
No need for an app for me.
has a holiday-mode.
