Using motion detector to trigger a light based on time of day
Posted: 27 Dec 2018 03:19
running zwaveme ver 2.3.8 on a raspberry pi3
I’ve got a motion detector and a multi color/dimmable light in a room.
If the time is between 7am and 10pm, I want Motion to trigger the light at 99% brightness and white color - then off after two minutes.
If the time is between 10pm and 7am, I want the motion to trigger the light at 50% brightness and red color - then off after two minutes.
From the devices page I can manually do whatever I want with the light as far as color and brightness and I’ve built scenes to define color and brightness that work great when I trigger the scenes manually. But I cannot figure out how to get a motion detector to trigger a scene.
I’ve tried using a rule, but to access <= or >= time settings I have to select the “advanced” button and that causes the motion status to not be available.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can make this work?
