Shading control by condition and schedule

Hello, I'm using EnergyPlus v.8.7 and I'm trying to control the shading differently according to different situations (time of day): -if there is no people in the house I want them to be closed (shading on) - if there is people in the house I want them to be controlled by one of the options provided (OnNightAndOnDayIfCoolingAndHighSolarOnWindow)

Does anyone know how can I accomplish this? Do I have to program EMS actuators for each window? I want all of them to be controlled the same way so I think there is maybe an easier solution. Can't 2 shading controls be assigned to each window?

Thanks!
