Help with Scene

[scottybotty99 1]

Hi All

 

I am a novice to Fibaro and only played about with it in my own home. 

I have my intruder system connected to Fibaro and when i return home, unset the alarm system it triggers a welcome scene which puts on lights etc.

 

I have been coming home during the day and found it a waste to have the lights on when they really re not needed.

I purchased a Fibaro LUX sensor and added it to the system. I want to know if its possible to when i come home and unset the intruder system to only activate the scene when the LUX is below 190 and if above that then to not switch on the scene. I have attempted to do it but it just always seems to come on no matter what the LUX level is.

 

Anyone able to help out? Thanks!

I think the problem is sensor configuration... by default LUX change step is too high about 200lux

Parameter 40

This parameter determines how much the light intensity has to differ from the last value to be reported to the controller.

May I suggest to reduce the value of this parameter to 30lux....

This has now worked but every 10 minutes the scene activates over and over again causing any lights that are not in that scene to go off?

This is OK, the scene should be activated every change of 30lux .

If your scene doesn't turn OFF other lights, which is the case I hope, please check parameters 14, 16. The should be configured to default.

Hi
To prevent the scene from running multiple times, create a variable.
Go to the variable panel and create a variable, such as "light" which can be "1" for light on and "0" for light off.
I use it quite a bit in my scenes.

See example where "VarmepumpeTaendt" ensures that the scene does not run every time the temperature changes.

 

You also need to create a scene that sets "light" to "0" when you "Arm" your sensor.
Hope it helps you.

[cag014 731]

You don't need to prevent the scene to be triggered and don't need to create additional variable, you already have your variable LUX value.

The code inside the scene should be based on LUX value, so no actions taken otherwise.

Du behøver ikke at forhindre, at scenen udløses, og behøver ikke at oprette yderligere variabler, du har allerede din variabel LUX-værdi.

Koden inde i scenen skal være baseret på LUX-værdi, så der er ikke taget andre handlinger.

 

 

 

 

Hi ?

Maybe there is a check mark in the "Lux sensor" that needs to be removed so that the scene is not triggered by lux change.

  @hTiger1 has an excellent point !!!

@scottybotty99 I think you need to change your scene and it should be triggered by motion sensor and if LUX value below 190 turn ON the lights.

Hi,

 

Looks like at the end of the scene, another scene has been called.

To my opinion by switching scene's trigger to motion, you can check the Lux value and turn on or off the lights in the same scene.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I kinda managed to get it working but the next issue is when I ask Alexa "bedtime" the bedtime scene runs by putting all the lights off and as its dark again, the alarm is unset and the lux is below 70 it then kicks all the lights back on!

Any other ideas on how to get round this?

@scottybotty99

create a variable bedtime on/off

add to the lux = < xx AND bedtime is off then lights on

 

add to the bedtime scene at the end: AND set variable bedtime on

 

add a scene

example: if time is 15:00 then set variable bedtime to off (then from that time the light scene will be active

@akatarSorry for my ignorance but iv never used Variables before. Would you be able to elaborate more on the process of adding the variable? 

Thanks in advance
