Motion Based Automation

How to automate a light device with motion sensor using the Lumos Controls mobile app?

  1. Go to the 'Devices' list
  2. Click on the icon of the light device that should respond to motion sensor triggers
  3. Click on the option 'Motion sensor settings' and select sensor activation period
    1. 'When someone arrives': Defines the action to be performed when motion is detected
      1. Click on the iconfinder_Cog_4473007 icon to choose if a scene or a custom intensity level is to be maintained on detecting presence
        1. If a scene is to be chosen, the device has to be added to the required scene beforehand
        2. By default, the device will maintain 100% intensity on detecting motion
      2. Also configure the time within which the lights should  attain the chosen state. The default value will be 1 sec and can be configured between 0-12.5 sec

    2. 'When everybody leaves': Defines the action to be performed when absence is detected
      1. Configure the  time duration for which the lights should remain in the state configured for 'When someone arrives'. The default value will be 20 min and can be configured between  0.5 - 1023 min if 'Min' is chosen and 1-30 sec if 'Sec' is chosen
      2. Click on the iconfinder_Cog_4473007 icon to choose if a scene or a custom intensity level to be maintained on detecting absence
          1. If a scene is to be chosen, the device has to be added to the required scene beforehand
          2. By default, the device will maintain 0% intensity on detecting absence
      3. Also configure the time within which the lights should attain the chosen state. The default value will be 1 sec and can be configured between 0-12.5 sec

    3. 'Then': Defines the action to be performed later
      1. Configure the  time duration for which the lights should remain in the state configured for 'When everybody leaves'. The default value will be 20 min and can be configured between  0.5 - 1023 min if 'Min' is chosen and 1-30 sec if 'Sec' is chosen
      2. Click on the iconfinder_Cog_4473007 icon to choose if a scene or a custom  intensity level to be maintained later
        If a scene is to be chosen, the device has to be added to the required scene beforehand
        By default, the device will maintain 0% intensity later
      3. Also configure the time within which the lights should attain the chosen state. The default value will be 1 sec and can be configured between 0-12.5 sec

  4. Save the changes and come back to the 'Motion sensor settings' page
  5. Enable the 'Manual Override' option to configure the duration after which the light device should respond to the motion sensor triggers a user manually controlled it
