@RyanE Not a problem. I am thinking the light level value is not widely used for automation. It provides some opportunities, but maybe there are other ways to skin the cat, and it seems documentation is not easily found and Control4 does not show the value (making it hard to experiment). If anyone has information on the range of values measured, please point to the documentation or describe here.

Thanks RyanE I set it up like you recommended, using an AND statement for the light level. because this is early morning and I turn the lights on low initially, I was getting repeating scene actuation (I have a ramp and the motion sensor triggers the scene during the ramp). Either the light level was too low, or the light sensing is not working - I don't see where to read the measured light level and do not know the range. I moved the light threshold in the conditional down to 18. I also put in an action to turn the BathroomAutoMorningLights variable false when the scene actuates. this makes it a one shot, but this is a small time window in the morning and I think acceptable. I might delete the light threshold.

I am interested in activating a bathroom lighting scene upon motion sensor input, after 6am and until 30 minutes after sunrise. The reason for the sunrise is to include any cloudy days when the bathroom is still dark. I don't know how to program a scheduler conditional with different start and stop time modes (one mode being the time of day, the other mode being related to sunrise/sunset). Is this possible, or how would you do it? Use variables? Also, I was thinking to leverage the light level from the motion sensor. If between 6am and 10am (don't need sunrise if I can use light level), AND the light level is xxx, then activate the scene. However, I do not know the range of light levels, and therefore not sure what value to put; and second, I don't see in the monitoring section the light level output. I have a ~3.5 year old card access motion sensor, and not even sure if it measures light level. Thoughts?

Any idea of the cost of these?

I am also looking for a good motion sensor, and one that has a sensitivity selection to allow for pets. Here is what I have found so far on pricing. Not much on sensitivity though. Only the cardAccess product mentions this. Not all of these are wireless, which I can go either way - wireless easier. Does anyone have any experience with the sensitivity part?

I am on OS 2.9.1. Does the stop statement apply to 2.10 only, or the multiple ifs?

I have a motion detector that controls lights with a simple script: when sensor senses motion, if time is between x and y hours, activate lighting scene. I would also like to have the motion detector send me a push notification as follows: when motion sensor senses motion, if 'Out-of-House' is true, send push notification. My problems are several fold: I am not able to get action statements to nest. usually, these are indented under an if statement. I can drag the action statement to the if statement, get a yellow highlight, and get either a down arrow or right arrow. However, no indent. Second, the support technicians don't support Composer (the one I talked to), and was unsure if multiple conditional statements are allowed in scripts. I would expect something like this: When sensor senses motion if time is between x and y hours activate lighting scene. if 'Out-of-House' is true send push notification. Ignoring the inability to nest, would this operate such that it evaluates the first if statement and takes action if appropriate, and then go to the next if statement and take action if appropriate? Or is it illegal to have multiple if statements? Any ideas on the nesting issue? are there keyboard commands, like holding the option key, etc, that would make the nest? Any recommendations are appreciated.
