Scenes let you control multiple home automation events simultaneously with one command, instead of updating each device individually.
Scenes help you customize your home automation system to your unique schedule or desired mood.
Pick from pre-built scenes provided by your vendor or build your own to meet your needs.
Examples of some home automation scenes are below:
1. Away
Before leaving the home, set the “away” mode to:
- Activate video surveillance cameras.
- Close garage.
- Lock doors.
- Turn down air conditioning or heat to save on bills.
- Turn off lights.
- Turn on home security system.
2. Coming Home
Alternately, if coming home, a pre-configured scene can:
- Turn off home security system.
- Turn on hallway lights when the door opens.
- Turn up air conditioning/heat to optimal temperature.
