CoRE Example - Lived In Look (Randomly Turn On / Off Lights) This piston example demonstrates the use of a user set local variable, ‘rand’, as well as the use of the systems variable $random. The effect of this core is to give a ‘lived in’ look to your lighting, randomly turning on and off lights for a random period of time. Between each cycle is an additional random wait time of between 1 and 10 minutes. The piston is timed between the hours of sunset -60 minutes and midnight -60 minutes. As pointed out below, to ‘goose’ the random value each time, use of the ‘Execute during evaluation stage’ is turned on (see below). The second condition tests to see if the result of the first condition, getting the random number and normalizing it between 1-100, is odd or even. You place your ligh…
