+--- Thread: Turn on Light when coming home at night (/thread-107.html)
- slychiu - 07-31-2006
It is useful to have the hall light turn on automatically when you come home in the evening, so you dont have to grope in the dark for a light switch. If the system is armed, this will also help to find the keypad quickly (*although the keypad backlight does turn on automaticaly if the system is armed)
To do this, use the Front Door Zone Response (which is activated when the door is opened), and program a Response whoch turns on the selected light at the times chosen
eg
Zone Response:
If Hours < 20 Then
If Hours >= 6 Then
Exit Response
End If
End If
Do X10A1ON [X10 A1 ON]
This means that between the hours 8 PM and 6 AM, the Response X10 A1 ON will be activated. You can choose or program a response to control the ligght by some other means (eg, relays, EIB, C-Bus) if not using X10
