| − | Motion Lighting Apps offer a quick way to automate your lighting to be triggered by motion sensors or modes. The setup for Motion Lighting and Mode Lighting apps are slightly different. Here's how to start: | + | #REDIRECT [[Motion and Mode Lighting Apps]]{{DISPLAYTITLE:Motion and Mode Lighting Apps}} |
| | | | |
| − | ==='''Installing the Motion Lighting apps'''===
| + | __NOTOC__ |
| − | | |
| − | #From the Hubitat Web Interface select '''Apps'''[[File:Install Built-In App 2.0.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #Choose Motion Lighting Apps from the list of Hubitat Elevation™ Built-In Apps[[File:Install Motion Lighting Apps.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==='''Creating a Motion Lighting App'''===
| |
| − | | |
| − | #Open the Motion Lighting Apps in your Hubitat Web Interface
| |
| − | #Select '''Create New Motion Lighting App...'''[[File:Create new motion lighting app.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #Name your Motion Lighting rule and press '''Continue'''[[File:Naming Motion lighting app.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #Select '''Motion Sensors''' to choose which motion sensors should trigger your lights. Check all that apply and press '''Update'''.[[File:Motion Lighting select motion sensors.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #Select the '''Lights to turn On''' when motion is detected[[File:Motion lighting - selecting lights.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #You will now have several choices of device types you can turn on with your motion sensors, plus the option to set and ''Off Delay'' per mode.[[File:Motion Lighting Scenes per mode.png|none|thumb|757x757px]]
| |
| − | #:'''Use Delay Per Mode'''
| |
| − | #:By default, your lights will turn off whenever motion stops being detected. To avoid this, you can set a delay after the last motion is detected, and before the lights turn off. Toggle the '''Use delay per mode''' switch at the top. Off delay fields will appear for each mode you have selected. Enter the number of minutes you want to delay the lights turning off.
| |
| − | #:'''Set these dimmers per mode'''
| |
| − | #:Select the dimmers you want to active and for which modes. You will also be asked to set the dimmer level.
| |
| − | #:'''Set color temperature per mode for these bulbs'''
| |
| − | #:If you have bulbs with variable color temperatures, select them here. Choose the modes during which they will be active, and what color temperature you want them to display.
| |
| − | #:'''Set color per mode for these bulbs'''
| |
| − | #:If you have color-changing bulbs, select them here. Select the modes during which they will be active and what color you want them to be.
| |
| − | #:'''Push button per mode'''
| |
| − | #:Select a button you would also like Motion Lighting to push when motion is activated. This will trigger whatever action you have set for the button in Button Controller, Rule Machine<sup>®</sup> or other apps. Select the modes for which this will be active.
| |
| − | #:'''Turn on a switches per mode'''
| |
| − | #:Select which switches you would like to turn on when motion is activated and select the modes for which the switches will be active.
| |
| − | #:'''Select Scenes per mode'''
| |
| − | #:Select the scenes you would like to turn on when motion is activated. You can select a different scene for each mode.
| |
| − | #When finished setting up your Motion Lighting app, press the '''Done''' button.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Setting Options for Activate, Disable, and Enable Lights-On ===
| |
| − | You have now created a functional motion lighting child app, with a motion trigger and some lights. If you want to add some additional options, choose '''Options for Activate, Disable, and Enable Lights-On'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | #You will be presented with a list of options and may select as many as you want, leaving any options you don't want blank.[[File:Motion Lighting active and disable options.png|none|thumb|606x606px]]
| |
| − | #:'''Buttons to turn on lights'''
| |
| − | #:Select any buttons you'd like to use to manually turn on these lights. Enter the button number into the field (enter "1" if the controller only has one button). If you only define a button to turn on the light, turning the light off will be handled by motion sensor activity.
| |
| − | #:'''Buttons to toggle on/off'''
| |
| − | #:Select any buttons you'd like to use to manually toggle the lights on and off. Enter the button number into the field (enter "1" if the controller only has one button).
| |
| − | #:'''Buttons to disable on'''
| |
| − | #:Select any buttons you'd like to use to disable this motion lighting child app and prevent the lights from turning on with motion once pressed. This is helpful when you might want to prevent lights from turning on in a bedroom, for example. Enter the button number into the field (enter "1" if the controller only has one button).
| |
| − | #:'''Button to enable turning on/off'''
| |
| − | #:If you selected a button to disable the child app with a button, you can re-enable the it with a different button. This is different from Buttons to toggle on/off, which simple toggles the light on or off without effecting the motion sensor input. Defining a button here will allow the motion lighting child app to once again to respond to your defined motion sensor(s). Enter the button number into the field (enter "1" if the controller only has one button).
| |
| − | #:'''Enable on/off at Time'''
| |
| − | #:If you use a button or switch to manually disable your motion lighting child app, you can use this option to automatically re-enable at sunrise, sunset or a specific. This option does not turn your lights on immediately, merely enables the motion lighting child app so it will once again respond to motion.
| |
| − | #:'''Enable override with dimmer level change''' '''(defaults is enabled)'''
| |
| − | #:Disable this option if you don't want to prevent a motion inactive from turning the lights off, and stop additional motion active events from changing the dimmer level if you manually adjust it. Keep this option enabled if you want to be able to manually set lights really dim or bright, without the motion lighting settings overriding your manual dimmer setting when motion is detected.
| |
| − | #:'''Override for level only (default is automation suspend)'''
| |
| − | #:If this option is enabled, motion active events will not change your manual dimmer level settings, but when no motion is detected, the lights will still turn off when your specified time has elapsed.
| |
| − | #:'''Switch to disable turning on'''
| |
| − | #:Select any switches you'd like to use to disable this child app so lights will not turn on when this switch is on, even if motion is detected.
| |
| − | #:'''Turn on only between two times'''
| |
| − | #:Select a window of time when you would like your motion lighting child app to be active.
| |
| − | #:'''Turn on only if lux is less than this value'''
| |
| − | #:Select a lux sensor and select a value (1-10000). The lights will only turn on if the lux value is below this level.
| |
| − | #:'''Select a fade time for the lights'''
| |
| − | #:Enter a fade time for your dimmers if supported by the device.
| |
| − | #:'''Adjust levels when mode changes'''
| |
| − | #:If the lights are on when the mode changes, they will be set to the new level as defined by '''Set these dimmers per mode'''
| |
| − | #When you are satisfied with your chosen options, select '''Done'''''.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Options for Additional Sensors, Lights-Off and Off options ===
| |
| − | Now that you have your options for '''On''' selected, let's turn our attention to the '''Off''' options. If you want to add some additional options, choose '''Options for Additional Sensors, Lights-Off and Off options'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | #Again, we are presented with a series of options for controlling when the motion-activated lights will turn off. Click and edit all that apply:
| |
| − | #:'''Additional Motion Sensors'''
| |
| − | #:These motion sensor will not trigger the lights to turn on, but if the lights have been triggered by the primary selected sensor, they will stay on as long as this sensor is active. (Example: you can put a sensor in the shower that will not trigger the bathroom lights to turn on, but will ensure they will stay on as long as someone is in the shower).
| |
| − | #:'''Additional Switches to turn off lights'''
| |
| − | #::Select any switches you would like to automatically turn off when motion becomes inactive that are not already included in your rule.
| |
| − | #:'''Button to Push when turned off'''
| |
| − | #:Similar to switches above, select any buttons you would like to automatically turn off when motion becomes inactive that are not already included in your rule.
| |
| − | #:'''Minutes to delay before off'''
| |
| − | #:Set the number of minutes you would like to delay turning off the lights following the last motion sensed. It's a good idea to set a delay of at least a minute to prevent the lights from turning off while people are still in the room.
| |
| − | #:'''Buttons to turn off lights'''
| |
| − | #:Select the buttons you wish to use override the motion rules and turn the lights on the lights manually.
| |
| − | #:'''Switches to turn off lights'''
| |
| − | #:Select the switches you wish to use override the motion rules and turn the lights on the lights manually.
| |
| − | #:'''Don't turn off if already on'''
| |
| − | #:If you toggle this ''on'', any light that was already on before the motion start will not turn off when the motion stops.
| |
| − | #:'''Buttons to disable off'''
| |
| − | #:Select a button that will override any ''off'' automations and keep your motion lights on even if motion stops.
| |
| − | #:'''Modes to disable Turning off'''
| |
| − | #:Select the modes during which your lights will not turn off even when motion stops. Your motion lights will still turn on during these modes (unless you disable them in the previous section).
| |
| − | #:'''Switch to disable off'''
| |
| − | #:Select a switch that will override any ''off'' automations and keep your motion lights on even if motion stops.
| |
| − | #When you have selected all of your options, click ''Done''.
| |
| − | #Enter a name you wish to control these lights using Alexa. Select a name that is clear and easy for Alexa to understand.
