We are attempting to create a thorough and concise set of posts guiding you through all aspects of the HomeSeer 3 Event Management system.
The first thread goes step by step through the Event Management page with all of the icons and functions explained.
Be sure and read first so that you can begin to understand all of the icons around the Events page.
Next we will break down the three basic elements of an event. A Hyperlink from each entry will take you to the corresponding post or thread. If the thread has not been completed there will not be a Hyperlink until the post is completed. This list will grow to accommodate the scope of the coverage and may have entries for future posts.
Since Virtual Devices are an immensely valuable tool in event creation, be sure and look at the Virtual Device Creation and Modification thread in the HS3 Virtual Devices forum.
