HCA provides what we call the Occupancy Wizard to help you create a schedule for this. The Occupancy wizard asks you questions about your home living patterns and then builds a schedule that make it look like you are home: staying in some rooms more than others, moving about every so often, and going to bed and getting up in the morning.
Since your HCA design can contain more than one schedule, you can create an "Away" schedule and tell HCA to make this active when you leave the home. This is simple as there is a Visual Programmer element to change the current schedule. You could have a keypad near your door and press a button when you leave and another when you return. HCA programs that start when those buttons are pressed can set your home into an Away mode and when you are back into an At Home mode by changing the current schedule.
