Define a state that is set manually from a server- or smartphone app.

In case a state should be set manually, by using various triggers or timers, this manual state can be selected.
If you'd like to disable the timers for closing the shades in case you're having a party, you might just set the 'Party' mode within the dS Dashboard app. This Party mode is used within the Timers-app, where the 'no party' state is configured as a condition. As a result, the shade timers will not be executed if the party is ongoing.
