I can think of a way off the top of my head although the programming would take time. First you would create a new email address like "whitakerlighttracking@gmail.com" This would be your repository for recording the lights. Next you will need a ton of email notifications set up. 2 for each light you want to track. One will be "if light turns on" and another for "if light turns off". You will be able to track the time based on the email time stamps. Once you have compiled a month worth of info programming starts. You would need to create multiple Schedulers. Base them on the most obvious lights. Call them Vacation 8:00am, Vacation 12:00 pm ,etc. Then for each scheduled event program in the lights. It could go deeper than this, but it could work. I may do a write up on this as I think it is kinda cool. Set your variables for Vacation true and false. That is an interesting question.

Is that possible Hi how can you rec the movements of the lighting used in one month of a home, then repeat that as a vacation mode, or lighting scene. Is that possible
