Introduction:

How to create a scenario:

Assistant cligne des yeux - Parle.gif
"In this section, I will explain how to access the creation of your scenario so you can script your device. I invite you to follow the explanations below."

 

Android: iOS:
Android - Créer un scénario.gif iOS - Créer un scénario.gif
  1. Open the Enki app by tapping its icon "Logo application Enki (petit).png" in the list of applications on your phone.
  2. In the menu bar at the bottom of the screen, click on "Scenarios" to access the corresponding section.
  3. To create a new scenario, click on the "+" icon at the top right of the screen.

 

Assistant cligne des yeux - Interrogation.gif

"Do you have questions? I am here to answer them.

What happens when no scenario is present in the "Scenarios" menu of the Enki app?
Well, the screen below appears.
To create your first scenario, you can:

  • Click the "+" button at the top right of the screen (as shown above),
  • Or click on " Add a scenario "  in the center of the screen."
Android: iOS:

What are the characteristics of a scenario:

Assistant cligne des yeux - Parle.gif

"In this section, I will present the features and possibilities offered by your scenario.

Indeed, a scenario allows you to perform a wide range of actions and customize its operation according to your needs."

 

When creating your scenario, it is important to be able to identify it easily. For that, consider customizing the following option:

 

Scenario name
  • The scenario name allows you to identify it easily in the list in the “Scenarios” menu.

  • For better readability, it is important to choose a clear name that summarizes the goal or overall function of your scenario.

  • The name is required to save a scenario.

 

You then access the scenario building phase, which consists of the following three sections:

 

When : Trigger:
  • These are one or more events that automatically trigger your scenario.
  • If you add multiple triggers, activating any one of them is enough for the actions defined in the scenario to be executed.
  • Triggers are optional: you can create a scenario without using any.
And only if: Condition:
  • Conditions correspond to one or more restrictions that must be met for your scenario to execute its actions.
  • They do not trigger the scenario by themselves but allow the actions to execute when they are fulfilled.
  • Thus, if a trigger activates the scenario while these conditions are not met, the actions will not be executed.
  • Conditions are optional: you can create a scenario without defining any.
Then: Action:
  • When the scenario is executed, the defined actions take place in the order you chose (from top to bottom).
  • You can change this execution order at any time to adapt the scenario flow according to your needs.

 

When creating your scenario, you also have access to the following option:

 

Pin to home:
  • This option allows you to pin your scenario as a favorite, so it appears directly on the "Home" screen.

  • This way, you can quickly access the button to execute your scenario's actions or more easily modify its editing.

  • When the toggle is off, your scenario is not pinned to the "Home" screen.

  • When the toggle is on, your scenario appears as a favorite on the "Home" screen.

 

Assistant cligne des yeux - Interrogation.gif

"Once your scenario is pinned to the home screen, it will appear in your "Home" menu, as illustrated in the images below.

By pressing the "Bouton Play - Ecran d'accueil maison.png" button, you will immediately launch your scenario: all actions defined for your devices will be performed, regardless of triggers or conditions.

Additionally, by long-pressing the scenario tile, you will access convenient shortcuts."

Android: iOS:

Android - Edité le scénario favori.gif

  • With a long press, you can access:
    Flèche Enki.png History: This is the execution history of your scenario.
    Flèche Enki.png Customize: You enter directly into the screen to edit/modify your scenario.

Execute one or more actions with my device:

Assistant cligne des yeux - Parle.gif
"In this section, I will explain how to create a simple scenario with your device, in order to manually execute one or more actions simultaneously."

 

Assistant cligne des yeux - Interrogation.gif

"This type of scenario is called a manual scenario. But what is a manual scenario?

A scenario is called manual when it requires a deliberate action to be launched, meaning it must be activated by yourself via the app, a button, a remote control, or a switch you have configured for this purpose."

 

Action on one or more devices:

Assistant cligne des yeux - Parle.gif
"Here, I will show you how to create a simple manual scenario involving an action on a single device."

Assistant cligne des yeux - Interrogation.gif

"What is the waiting delay?

The waiting delay is the time that passes between two actions in a scenario.
For example, if you define a first action on your device, then a three-hour delay, the next action will only execute three hours after the first.
It is a simple way to shift the execution of your scenario's actions in time."

 

"For this example, we will set a delay of 03:00:00. Thus, after the first action executes, a three-hour delay will elapse before the second action triggers." Assistant cligne des yeux - Parle.gif

What to Know About Scenarios:

  • What are the limits regarding the maximum number of triggers?
    Flèche Enki.png You can include up to fifty triggers in a scenario.

  • What are the limits regarding the maximum number of conditions?
    Flèche Enki.png You can include up to fifty conditions in a scenario.

  • What are the limits regarding the maximum number of actions?
    Flèche Enki.png You can include up to fifty actions in a scenario.

  • What is the minimum accepted delay for a timer?
    Flèche Enki.png The timer must be at least five seconds.
     

    Android: iOS:
    Délais d'attente Max - Android.png Délais d'attente Max - iOS.png
  • How many wait delays can I include in my scenario?
    Flèche Enki.png It is possible to include up to five delays maximum in a scenario.

  • What is the maximum time that can be applied for a wait delay?
    Flèche Enki.png On Android, the interface allows entering a full delay up to 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. On iOS, selection is done by scrolling, with seconds in five-second intervals, so the maximum is 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 55 seconds.

  • How do actions proceed?
    Flèche Enki.png Actions execute in the order you have defined, from top to bottom in the list.
    You can change this order by clicking on "Move" next to the "Then" section.

  • My device does not appear in the list of device states in triggers, why?
    Flèche Enki.png Not all devices are eligible to trigger a scenario. If your device does not appear in the list, it is not eligible. You can verify this in the product feature table in Enki, at Equation: Fixed Air Conditioner - Product Sheet or at Equation: Virtus Fixed Air Conditioner - Product Sheet.

  • My device does not appear in the list of device states in conditions, why?
    Flèche Enki.png Not all devices are eligible to be used as a condition limiting the triggering of a scenario. If your device does not appear in the list, it is not eligible. You can verify this in the product feature table in Enki, at Equation: Fixed Air Conditioner - Product Sheet or at Equation: Virtus Fixed Air Conditioner - Product Sheet.

  • My device does not appear in the list of device states in actions, why?
    Flèche Enki.png Not all devices are eligible to execute an action in a scenario. If your device does not appear in the list, it is not eligible. You can verify this in the product feature table in Enki, at Equation: Fixed Air Conditioner - Product Sheet or at Equation: Virtus Fixed Air Conditioner - Product Sheet.

  • I use a value to trigger my scenario, but sometimes it does not execute even though the value matches, why?
    Flèche Enki.png The trigger works like a threshold. The scenario executes only when the value crosses this threshold. If the value is already within the defined range, the scenario will not trigger again. Example: Suppose three values: A, B, and C. The scenario must execute when the value is greater than B, thus at C. If the value is already C, the scenario will not execute. But if the value goes from A to B, then surpasses B to reach C, the scenario will execute because the threshold is crossed.
