For this purpose the Light-Manager measures temperature every minute and triggers scenarios if required. This function is useful to control a fan or electric blinds for example. Besides the inside temperature, which is measured by the device itself, also the outside temperature can be used as control factor.
  • Page 18: Front Button

    RF Transmitter A very powerful feature is the ability to trigger scenarios by signals of RF transmitters, e.g. wall switches, motion detectors, magnet switches, brightness detectors or other components. To create such a scenario it is sufficient to send an RF signal with one of these components.
  • Page 19: Email Notification

    Email notification The Light-Manager allows getting a notification by e-mail when a scenario has been executed. This is especially suitable for scenarios which are triggered by sensors. So you could get an e-mail as soon as a window or a door has been opened or motion has been detected.
