Dimming a lamp using a fixed time schedule and an indoor motion detector

Procedure

Creating the controls, the device and the time schedule

1. Create an indoor motion detector (DET1).

2. Create a dimmable lamp (LAMP1).

3. Create a virtual device (VIRT1).

4. Create a daily time schedule (TIME1) from sunrise until sunset.

Creating the routine

Create a routine Motion detection with indoor detector(s) (ROUT1).

• Configure the following behaviour:

  • master detector that initiates the routine: indoor motion detector (DET1)

  • device that is switched on when the routine is started: VIRT1: Value = true

• Set the parameter switch-off delay

Creating the conditions

1. Create a condition (COND1) for deactivating the lamp when no movement is detected within the switch-off delay set in the detector's parameters. Use the following logic:

   • IF ROUT1: State ≠ motion detected + switch-off delay

   • THEN LAMP1: Level = off

   • ELSE leave empty

2. Create a condition (COND2) to set the lamp luminosity to 100% from sunset until sunrise. Use the following logic:

   • IF (TIME1: On/off = false) and (ROUT1: State = motion detected + switch-off delay)

   • THEN LAMP1: Level = on

   • ELSE leave empty

3. Create a condition (COND3) to set the lamp luminosity to  30% from sunrise until sunset. Use the following logic:

   • IF (TIME1: On/off = true) and (ROUT1: State = motion detected + switch-off delay)

   • THEN LAMP1: Level = 30%

   • ELSE leave empty
