What Can I Do With Scenes?
By creating a scene in the Cygnett Smart app, you’ll be able to get a group of devices to turn on or off in your home, based on an automation or manual selection – a set of condition(s) must be met for an automation to occur. Setting up your first scene is your first step in creating a smart home. There are many different scenes you can create, however the purposes of this User Manual; we will be covering the following:
- Turning on your lounge room light1 when you open the front door2
- Turning on your lounge room light1 and heater3 when you single press the Smart Control Button4
- Turning on your lounge room light1 when motion5 is detected
- Turning on the heater3 when the room temperature6 is less than 15°C
- Manually turning off the lounge room light1 and heater3
Please note that these scene automations require Cygnett’s range of Smart Home products to operate successfully. Scene examples outlined in this User Manual and not limited to these, so please feel free to experiment in your scenes.
