Hi! My understanding is that the Resource Manager can allow one to have a scene only execute at night. This is a cool function as programs on the ISY seem to respond more slowly than scenes triggered by motion detection.
I think I essentially understand how Resource Manager works, but I am not seeing a way to do something I believe to be relatively simple. I wonder if it is possible, or if I am simply missing something.
Here is the scenario...
1. Four Insteon 2477D switches are on a single, 5-way circuit. They each have the ability to switch on/off a set of can lights on my inside balcony. I have grouped them into a scene and they work perfectly.
2. In introducing an Insteon MS, it is able to get them to turn on just fine, and they turn off as I wish. However, I do not want them coming on and wasting power during the day when there is plenty of natural light.
3. I have the sensor and scene set to run for 60 seconds when motion is sensed, which is plenty of time to get around the balcony with the lights on.
4. I understand that ISY natively cannot be set to only allow scenes to fire are night, so this aspect of Mobilinc is of interest to me.
In trying to set up Resource Manager to run Night Settings and include motion detection, I am not seeing a way to only have this scene fire for 60 seconds and not run longer, or any other time than night when motion is sensed.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Lee
