    Evening guys, having a play about with a new 5750WPL outdoor sensor i have installed on my system, tried a few different ways to achieve the following but none seem to be successful, hopefully someone might be able to help?

    scenario:
    sunset/sunrise activates a scene which consists off front and back wall lights dimmed to 50% and garage door lights relay on.

    Motion in darkness activates the front wall lights from 50% to 100%

    Seems straight forward but struggling a litttle. thanks in advance.

    The simplest way to do this is probably to use a logic engine in a PAC or touchscreen, possibly along with the output unit logic.

    Do you have a logic engine anywhere?

    You sure can.

    To achieve what you want, I would
    - assign a group (which is not used anywhere else) to the "Sunrise/Sunset" function in the sensor
    - assign another group to the "Motion in Dark" function.
    - write some logic code eg something like the following pseudocode


    Code:
    once (Sunrise/Sunset Group = ON)
 {
   Set FrontWall Lights to 50%
   Set Back Wall Lights to 50%
   Set Garage Door Lights ON 
  }
once (Sunrise/Sunset = OFF)
 {
   Set FrontWall Lights OFF
   Set Back Wall Lights OFF
   Set Garage Door Lights OFF
  }

once (Motion in Dark Group = ON)
  {
     Set Front Wall Lights to 100%
  }
once (Motion in Dark Group = OFF)
  {
     if (Sunrise/Sunset Group = ON)
       {
         Set Front Wall Lights back to 50%
       }
     else 
      {
        Set Front Wall Lights = OFF
      }
  }

    Ah bugger, I'm just having a similar problem.

    I can get the lights to come on and off with the timer function on any move, but then they come on at any time of the day.

    Is the only way to do it via scripting? I haven't done that yet so very novice.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Dave -> it depends on the model, my PIR has sunset-sunrise + sunrise-sunset and 2 other modes so I can achieve it based on the unit itself.
