App to turn Lights On/Off automatically while away (Simulate Presence)

[lmosenko]

Looking for an app to turn lights On/Off while all are away from home to simulate presence. Just in case Mr./Mrs. Burglar want to drop by. Is there one out or can someone help with the code?

[OBSOLETE] Vacation Light Director

Occupancy light simulator will simulate your house being lived in even when you are not. Pick a set of lights and at a interval you specify the app will turn off all lights and then turn on a random set of lights. Nice things is you can restrict this to mode/time/day of week. It is always triggered by mode change but will not run outside of specific restrictions you set. Nice things is it will not run if someone is home and the mode changes. Thanks to @dave for testing!!! https://github.com/tslagle13/SmartThings/blob/master/Director-Series-Apps/Vacation-Lighting-Director/Vacation%20Lighting%20Director.groovy

Thanks @tslagle13. It is installed and is running now.

Hey, installed and running now. But it seems to be missing things. I am a newbie for sure and just starting to dig through the code. But I am not seeing the settings page? Specifically it would be great to start at say Dusk and run for X hours and/or Dawn -1 hour.

I do see some settings code with start time, day of the week, and duration, but can’ seem to find where to set them in the app or web IDE?

Thanks for any help!
