Set vacation

To set vacation, take care you defined the vacation target temp with the object T_HEAT_VACATION. You will find that object in DEVICE. After that, set the both objects VACATION.START_DATE and VACATION.END_DATE. If you will deactivate the vacation settings, set both objects with dates before today. You can check the object VACATION.STATE to check the status. If the status showing true, vacation is active.
