I have a set of events that run every morning to get up, turn on some lights, lift the shades, etc. and they run early during the week and later on the weekend. Anyone created an event that just lets you run it to skip a set of events or change the times of them for things like holidays?

Create an event to skip scheduled events?

Create a virtual device with : home, away, holidays, guest, etc. and add it as a condition to your events.

+1. My "Occupancy" virtual switch has an additional value labelled "Manual". All of my timed events will add a check of that switch ("AndIf Occupancy not equal to Manual"). Makes it very easy to suppress scheduled events for any reason (party, holidays, malfunctioning Homeseer, etc).

This is what I put in place yesterday, but the more that I think about it I want it to be automated somehow. Like maybe figure out how to have Homeseer pull from my calendar and it there is something that is called PTO or holiday names then turn on the Holiday virtual device with a 24 hour timer.
Not sure how to accomplish this yet, but I am going to work on it and am obviously open to suggestions. :-)

Tip : You can use that node many times over, in other words each event can have its Bigtimer as a Trigger and Change nodes to Trigger the HS Device nodes on Run the HS Event nodes

Haven't tried it yet, but I'm pretty sure this one would do the job:

feel free to comment as it's on my short list of PI to try.

you could always use hs.disableevent and then when the time is passed hs.enableevent. It leaves the events intact and you can keep all the logic outside of the events. one event disable morning stuff, runs a script to disable event1, event2, etc.... then wait till they would have run and renable all the events, all in one event.
