How do I set up a routine in the Basis Home app?

Routines allow for automated control on any of your circuits - here's how to set one up for yourself.

One of the advantages of the Basis Smart Panel is the ability to create automated, time-based routines for any of your circuits. For instance, you can schedule your lights to turn on at specific times while you are away on vacation, or program your hot water cylinder to operate only during off-peak electricity rates, or free power times.

Routines let you switch any circuit off automatically at the times you choose — think of it as a schedule or timer for your home's power. You can build your own custom routine or start from a ready-made template, all from the Control tab in the Basis Home app.

➕Add Custom Routines

Creating a custom routine involves two key elements:

  • Selecting the circuit you want to control 

  • Defining the timing for that control.

Steps: 

  1. To begin, tap "New Routine" in the routine section of the app

  2. Tap "Add" under the Circuit affected section to choose the circuit you wish to configure for your routine.

  3. Select the circuit you wish to set the routine on and tap the tick button on the top right corner once selected

  4. Tap "Add" under the Schedule section to choose when the circuit will be on standby

  5. Select the days you wish to set the routine on 
    1. Select M T W T F for Weekdays 
    2. Select S S for Weekends 
    3. or select your own days 
  6. Choose your Time slots when you want the circuit to be off  - See Tip 1 below
  7. To add another schedule - see Note 1 below
  8. Tap "Apply" to set your schedule 
  9. Once you are happy with the routine tap "Create"
  10. A confirmation note will appear "Routine Created"

Tip 1: When selecting the times, you are not able to run times across 2 days 
So if you want to set the HWC circuit to be switched onto standby from 10am - 4pm & 9pm - 8am the next day 

Choose the following times: 
10am - 4pm
9pm - 12am 
12am - 8am 

Note 1: If you want to add another schedule on the same circuit - Lets say a weekend schedule and a Weekday schedule - set 2 schedules on the same circuit. 

  • Weekday schedule M T W T F - Times: 10am - 4pm & 9pm - 8am
  • Weekend schedule S S - Times  9pm - 8am

➖Edit or Delete Custom Routine

  • To Edit a custom routine, select the routine you would like to edit and tap on the edit button below the heading
  • To delete  a custom routine, select the routine you would like to delete, scroll down and select 'Delete Routine'
