Example 1: Scheduled Control Using a Schedule to control lighting is the simplest /oldest way to control lighting. Add a light output block Assign it Configure it Control its function - see Help for details (F1) This can be incorporated into any sequence that will allow dimming or blind control etc. Using a Schedule to control lighting is the simplest /oldest way to control lighting. There are no tricks here, just add a light output block, assign it, configure, and control its function (see help for details F1) This can be incorporated into any sequence that will allow dimming or blind control etc.. 59

Example 2: Motion Control Using a multi-sensor to detect room motion, and turning on lighting as a result. This sample lighting sequence will turn on lights for a minimum of 5 minutes each time the multi-sensor detects motion. This can be incorporated into a sequence that will allow dimming or blind control etc.. Here we have a lighting sequence that will turn on the lights for a minimum of 5 minutes each time the multi-sensor detects motion.
