Don't Be Left Out In The Dark
Relieve
that uneasy feeling of being in the dark, fumbling for keys, trying to
enter the safety of home or business.
This week’s tip provides some ideas to automate exterior lights
so your customers never feel “left in the dark.”
A
task can be used whenever you desire a series of events to occur from more
than one trigger. In this
application, a task is defined to turn on two outdoor lights for 5
minutes. This task can be
activated by an outdoor motion sensor or a wireless keyfob button.
The task could also be activated from a keypad or the telephone
remote control.
WHENEVER Outdoor
Lights (Task 4) IS ACTIVATED
THEN TURN
Outdoor Light 1 [2(A2)] ON FOR 5 MINS
THEN TURN
Outdoor Light 2 [3(A3)] ON FOR 5 MINS |
The
following rule activates the task when the motion sensor is tripped and it
is dark outside.
WHENEVER Motion
1 (Zn 7) BECOMES NOT SECURE
AND IT IS DARK OUTSIDE
THEN
ACTIVATE Outdoor Lights (Task 4) |
The
above option is good for a customer who is able to park close to the
entrance (and the motion sensor).
However, if the customer is not close to the motion sensor when
exiting their car, a wireless keyfob may be their best option to turn the
lights on immediately.
The following rule activates the task when keyfob button 3 is
pressed.
WHENEVER RF KEYFOB BUTTON 3 IS
ACTIVATED
THEN
ACTIVATE Outdoor Lights (Task 4) |
