So, more or less, to be able to automagically turn on/off a zone at a certain time.

THe circumstance is this:

I live in the city and have a front stoop; during the day I want/need to monitor the whole thing. However, during the night, car's headlights as they turn down the street set off the alarm events creating many false positives every night.

My ideal solution would be to easily configure the "turning on/off" of zones based on the time of day.

Just throwing it out there before I make a cron job to do it, or to see if anyone else has run into this one

The other one is the back porch cam; during the day I see clearly. Night time has the issue of the "halo" IR lense and MOTHS MOTHS MOTHS which would trigger false alarms. So I would need to have a "day time" zone and "night time" zone for that one.

This is a half finished feature which I must get around to polishing. It is will be called zone sets as you can define sets of zones and switch them on or off, or for PTZ cams associated them with a preset.

I will bump it up the priority list.
