Mobile Integrated Solutions

Good Morning,

I am new to the home automation world. I am starting with a ISY994i and Orchestrated Mobilinc. My first two devices are an Insteon light bulb and a motion sensor. The light bulb is on a floor lamp in our family room. I want the light bulb to turn on between sunset and sunrise (or set times), but only when motion is detected.

I believe I have everything setup correctly on the ISY since I can control the light bulb (on/off/dim). Do I have to create the scene on the ISY first?

Thanks for the help and sorry for the basic question. But I was not able to figure out how to create the scene.

Hello,

For this scenario, you wouldn't have to create a scene unless you wanted two or more devices to respond at the same time.

Scene creation is done through the ISY's Admin Console interface from a PC/MAC.

If just the one device is all you need to turn on in response to motion and since you have the Orchestrated MobiLinc app, please do the following:
- Go to Devices and select your device.
- Scroll down the device details page and select "Resource Manager"
- Turn on the Night Settings and setup.
- Assign your motion detector to the Night Settings so that the motion and darkness indicator from the motion detector is considered when turning on your light.

Excellent...thank you for the fast reply! It's all set now.

Excellent! Glad to hear it.

Thanks I will try these this weekend. One of the things I really love about the new mobilinc is the dashboard, I will need to take screenshots of how I have it configured so I can get it back the same way after reinstalling mobilinc.
