Remote control of 2nd home
I guess I am to old a programmer to decipher Kasa's language.
We have a 2nd home that has a HS103 switch running a small water pump.
we want to schedule the pump to operate on a schedule, say on at 6AM, off at 10PM (no problem there).
BUT we want the pump switch OFF when we are NOT home.
Moreover, we want to activate the schedule remotely:
Here is my simplest logic:
IF (ActivateHome):
Turn Switch ON
Activate Schedule
ENDIF
IF (DeActivateHome):
Deactivate Schedule
Turn Switch OFF
ENDIF
I assume that if I "simply" activate or deactivate a schedule in the middle (say 11AM) nothing happens to the switch until the next scheduled time, thus the ON/OFF actions.
There are some other issues, but I want to start small.
Finally, It would be helpful to run this through Google Home, as we already have a NEST thermostat running.
