Scene Configuration

Requirements

Area	Scene	Device Control	Remark
Entryway & Hallway	Leave: turn off all lights Triggered when all PIR sensors detect no presence	Hallway switches: Button 1: turn on hallway spotlights (for direct-connected lights: press once = on, press again = off) Button 2: trigger Bright (for scenes: press once to activate; press again only turns off button LED, scene not re-triggered) Button 3: trigger Relax Button 4: trigger Leave	Switch Interlock: This feature links multiple switches controlling the same lights or scenes. When one switch is turned on or off, the LEDs on all linked switches update to match its state. Hallway switch Button 1 - Bedroom left bedside switch Button 2 Hallway switch Button 2 - Bedroom left bedside switch Button 3 - Bedroom right bedside switch Button 3 Hallway switch Button 3 - Bedroom right bedside switch Button 2 Bedroom left bedside switch Button 4 - Bedroom right bedside switch Button 4 Scene Mutual Exclusion: Some scenes are mutually exclusive (activating one turns off the others), so their button LEDs cannot stay on simultaneously. Bright, Relax, Leave, Reading1, Reading2, Sleep, and hallway spotlights : Bright activated: all off except hallway spotlights Relax activated: all off except hallway spotlights Leave activated: all off Reading1 activated: all off except hallway spotlights & Reading2 Reading2 activated: all off except hallway spotlights & Reading1 Sleep activated: all off Hallway spotlights on: Leave and Sleep off Bathroom Scenes: All On activated: all off Spotlights on: all off Mirror lights on: all off All Off activated: all off Auto LED Off: For Leave, All Off, and Sleep scenes, button LEDs automatically turn off after a set time. PIR Sensor Logic: The Leave scene is triggered when all PIR sensors detect no presence. To prevent false triggers, set an observation period—only if no presence is detected for the entire period will the scene activate.
Bathroom	All on: turn on all bathroom lights All off: turn off all bathroom lights	Bathroom switches: Button 1: trigger All on Button 2: turn on bathroom spotlights Button 3: turn on mirror lights Button 4: trigger All off
Bedroom	Bright: all lights on; bedside lights at 100% brightness Relax: all lights on, bedside lights at 30% brightness Reading1: bedroom spotlight off, left bedside light at 50% brightness Reading2: bedroom spotlight off, right bedside light at 50% brightness Sleep: all lights off, button LEDs off	Bedroom left bedside switches: Button 1: trigger Reading 1 Button 2: turn on hallway spotlights Button 3: trigger Bright Button 4: trigger Sleep Bedroom right bedside switches: Button 1: trigger Reading 2 Button 2: trigger Relax Button 3: trigger Bright Button 4: trigger Sleep
