Staircase Direction Lighting
« on: July 18, 2008, 06:40:19 PM »

Narrative:
AHP 3.228

Runs from the interface or PC (users choice).

The following macros can be used to detect the direction on motion and turn on the appropriate light. This setup uses 2 motion detectors (one at the top of a staircase and the other at the bottom).

I use this setup to temporarily turn on my downstairs hallway light or my upstairs hallway light. I use the motion sensors OFF signals (set to 2 minutes) to turn off the light. My hallway lights are not normally left on for long term lighting, that is why I have the macros turn them off after 2 minutes.


The following Modules are used:

UpstairsHallLight: wall switch
DownstairsHallLight: wall switch

UpstairsMotion: L13
DownstairsMotion: L15


The following Status Flags are used:

Flag 2: When Cleared (OFF) indicates nighttime (see: Daytime / Nighttime Timer Flag Macro)
Flag 7: Set (ON) when motion is detected Upstairs
Flag 8: Set (ON) when motion is detected Downstairs
