New User Scene Programming Question

[pjjameso]

I have a scene called Foyer which contains 3 2477D Switchlinc dimmers. One is connected to the load in the foyer, the other is a controller in the upstairs hallway, the third is a controller in the kitchen. All three currently work fine manually in so much as if I operate one switch the others follow suit with the correct led indication.

 

How do I set up a program such that at sunset the lights are on 100%, then at 10PM at 40%, and finally off at sunrise?

 

Dumb question, but this one has me stumped. Thanks in advance for you patience.

There are a couple of ways that I can think of, but the best way depends on whether you want the response to button presses to vary based on time. That is, if you press one controller during the day, you want 100%, but if you press that same controller at night, you want 40%. If, however, all you want is a program that sets this scene on at different levels at different times, I would simply create a second scene, with the exact same devices, with all being RESPONDERS. Set the second scene "on" levels at 40% (assumes original scene levels set at 100%).

 

First program:

 

if time is sunset

then set scene 1 on

else

 

Second program

 

if time from 10pm

to sunrise (next day)

then

set scene 2 on

else

set scene 2 off
