Programmatically change on level and ramp rate

Featured Replies

I see I can change On Level and Ramp Rate manually within EISY and I can change it programmatically by using adjust scene. Is there a way to programmatically adjust the device directly?

I’m guess I should explain what I’m trying to do. I’m using a battery operated motion sensor to turn on a light. I want the on level to be different at different times of the day. I tried using adjust scene but it seems to not work if I do not have the motion sensor plugged in.

If you mean directly by the motion sensor (ie: not using a program) then no, that won't be possible. You'll have to use a program, and tolerate the slight delay.

I would suggest a program to set the on level for the different times of day. From "x" time to "y" time be "w%" on value. I think I had something like this before, but not with a motion sensor. Just having lights to turn on less bright at times in the middle of the night so not to blind or wake people.

Night-MWC -

If

From 11:30:00PM

To Sunrise + 1 hour (next day)

Then

Set 'MWC' On Level 30%

Else

Set 'MWC' On Level 100%

This is only for overnight and it will be 100% the rest of the time. You would want a different program for each on % you wanted to use during the day.
