ejh3 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I just recently purchased a isy-991ir and was wondering if I could make this scene/event work. Stagecoach lights on my garage come on via a motion sensor when it gets dark out. What I would like to do is have them come on at about 35% but when the sensor detects motion they will ramp up fast and go to 100% for a set time. Has anyone made something like this work? I have had quite a few x10 devices in my house for about 6yrs now, I can't wait to hook up some of these Insteon devices I have ordered. A couple other events I'm working on include: Garage Door Opener via iphone/internet Gas Fireplace on/off (With contact for the flame and a appliance receptacle for the blower motor) Incorporate existing x10 modules for my flood lights Any other recommendations that you guys/gals have would be great! Thanks for all your help! Ed Link to comment
oberkc Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I would think this would be relatively straight-forward. There are issues with motion sensor programs near the end of the daily operating period, but I suggest looking at the wiki articles (search motion sensor) and previous forum post to get a sense of those. For your specific example, I am thinking about two programs. One: if from sunset to sunrise (next day) then set coach lights to 35% else set coach lights off Two: if from sunset to sunrise (next day) and control motion sensor is set on then set coach lights to 100% wait set time set coach lights to 35% else I am sure there are other options that would work as well, or better.
