MK Astral z-wave system controllers are able to send a "holiday mode" command to all switches, where-upon the lighting mimics the previous 24 hours activation to simulate occupancy.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the UCM-ZWave to initiate this "holiday mode", and if so what is the command type and parameters involved?

Thanks

Thanks ident,

According to the specs for the Astral there are four "special Astral System Functions" which are of use:
"all on"; "all off"; "holiday mode on" and "holiday mode off".

(See page 5 of http://www.mkelectric.com/Documents/English/Astral%20Documents%202012/50067415_A%20-%20Data%20Sheet%20-%20Smart%20Interface.pdf )

This seems to be a function of the MK "Smart switch" which is a propietary device for which not much information is available, ie it is not part of the Zwave specifcations so other zwave device are not able to trigger this
