| − | | |
| − | #Open the Motion Lighting Apps in your Hubitat Web Interface | |
| − | #Select ''Create New Motion Lighting App''.
| |
| − | #Name your Motion Lighting rule and click ''continue.''
| |
| − | #:[[File:Motion1.png|300px]]
| |
| − | #Click ''Motion Sensors''to select which motion sensors you want to trigger your lights.

| |
| − | #:[[File:Motion3.png|300px]]
| |
| − | #You will now have several choices of device types you can turn with your motion sensors, plus the option to use delay per mode:
| |
| − | #:'''Use Delay Per Mode'''
| |
| − | #:By default, your lights will turn off whenever motion stops being detected. This can be obnoxious if you are, say, sitting on a toilet, so you can set a delay after the last motion is detected before the lights go off. To do this, toggle the ''Use delay per mode'' switch at the top of the screen. 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 during which modes they will activate. 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. You will also select 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. You will also select the modes during which they will be active and what color you want them to display.
| |
| − | #:'''Push button per mode'''
| |
| − | #:Select a button you would like to push when motion is activated. This will trigger whatever action you have set for the button in Buttons Controller, Rule Machine or other rule-building apps. You will also select the modes during which this will be active.
| |
| − | #:'''Turn on a switches per mode'''
| |
| − | #:Select which switches you would like to turn on when motion is activated. You will also select the modes during which this will be active.
| |
| − | #:When your settings are to your liking, click ''Done''.
| |
| − | #At this point, you have created a functional motion lighting rule with a motion trigger and some light. If that is all you want this rule to do, you can click ''done'' now to save your rule. However, if you want to add some additional options, click ''Options for Activate, Disable, and Enable Lights-On''.
| |
| − | #Here you will be presented with a long list of options. You select as many as you want. Leave any options you don't want blank:
| |
| − | #:'''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)
| |
| − | #:'''Buttons to toggle on/ff'''
| |
| − | #: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 rule (in other words, lights will not turn on with motion after this button is pressed). 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 rule in the above section, you'll probably want to select a button to the turn the rule back on here. 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 rule, you can use this option to automatically enable your rule at a specific time or at sunrise or sunset. This option does not turn you lights on immediately, merely enables to the rule again.
| |
| − | #:'''Override for level only (default is automation suspend)'''
| |
| − | #:If you only want these button options to apply to dimmer levels, click the ''Override for level only'' toggle. '''Note''': override is incompatible with devices that report level during a ramp up. With these devices, you must disable override.
| |
| − | #:'''Switch to disable turning on'''
| |
| − | #:Select any switches you'd like to use to disable this rule (in other words, lights will not turn on when this switch is off, even if motion is detected).
| |
| − | #:'''Turn on only between two times'''
| |
| − | #:Select a window of time when you would like this rule active.
| |
| − | #:'''Turn on only if lux is less than this value'''
| |
| − | #:Here you will select a lux sensor and select a value (1-10000). The lights will only turn on if the lux value is below this level.
| |
| − | #Now that you have your ''on'' options selected, let's turn our attention to the ''off'' options by clicking on ''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.
| |
| − | #When you are satisfied with your Motion Lighting Rule, click ''Done''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' The Remove button will remove this entire rule from your app list.
