Program Main Bath Door Status Change - Enabled. The light automatically turns on when the bathroom door is opened, and remains lit in the occupied state. This means we have two separate scenes for the lights; one with a quick ramp rate for turning the light on, and the other with the slow ramp rate for turning the light off. To have the light simply turn on when motion is sensed, and turn off when the motion sensor times out: This is less than satisfactory for several reasons. As it turns out, when a device status is unkown, as in the case of RF devices following reboot, ISY defaults the status to Off with regards to programs. The Else provides the five minute interval, while the Then provides a 40 minute interval before calling the Else for the final five minutes, prior to turning the scene (lights and fan) off. Saves you money, reduces your carbon footprint and benefits all New Zealand. My preference is to use two scenes, because using Fast On will cause the lights to come on to 100% with the fastest possible ramp rate (.1 seconds or nearly instantaneous). During a power failure, should someone enter the bathroom it is unlikey he would shut the door, as there would be no light.

You can program up to 7 on/off events 7 times a week. $��@��@���OA:́��)����I@�W����a)H����?� J�( Otherwise, the timer program (program 13) will be called again, will reevaluate the door status, and initiate the appropriate time interval. Program Main Bath Motion Timer - NOT Enabled. When ISY reboots, each program which is not set to run at startup has its status set to False. On the other hand, making the timeout longer than necessary results in wasted electricity and reduced effectiveness and convenience. Another improvement is to separate the on portion and the timer portion of the program, in order to allow having the INSTEON On command sent to the light switch only when the light is currently off, thereby reducing INSTEON traffic by not sending redundant On commands when the light is already on: 3. All Rights Reserved. When the motion sensor stops sensing motion, times out, and sends the Off command, its status becomes False and program 4 begins the countdown to turning the lights off. ISY-99i Series INSTEON : Decal, Membrane Status Indicator 1 1 Installation Instructions 1 1 Status Indicator Location and Connection 1 1. 3. So either way, when the power returns it is quite likely the door will be open. Should new motion occur during the countdown (or the Main Bath Motion Timer Enable flag become False), the re-trigger program halts the timer program.
This means that the program will never run automatically in response to changing conditions in the If; it will run only when told to do so either by another program, or by manually running it from the Program Summary tab. Here we use a program (Main Bath Motion Timer Enable) as a flag to determine whether the motion sensor should turn the light on (program 5) and whether the timer should be allowed to turn the light off (program 6). Here program 3 turns the lights on in response to motion, if they are not already on. For example, I have an interior (no windows) main bathroom which is completely covered by the motion sensor, except for the bath/shower, because the bath/shower has doors which the sensor cannot see through.
First, rather than having the on time controlled entirely by the motion sensor, one may wish to allow ISY to determine the timeout, thereby allowing the on time to be changed programmatically: Here the Wait time occurs after the motion sensor has timed out and sent the Off command, so if the motion sensor's timer is set to the default of one minute, then the total timeout period of this program will be five minutes. Jun 18, 2012 - Bathroom Status Indicator Lights and Automatic Switch: This project uses proximity switches and relays to control a bank of indicator lights.
However, I find the bathroom to be a location which gains a high level of convenience through automation, as long as the sensors provide complete coverage and the programming is made sufficiently solid as to avoid the above scenario. This condition will persist until the door is closed and opened. It could be set even longer for that matter. This project uses proximity switches and relays to control a bank of indicator lights.?
