JGLI Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 What is the "best" way to control lighting when you aren't home to simulate you being there? My dealer installed the MockOccupancy driver, but there is virtually no control and I can't find any notes. While its nice that it seems to be recording what is happening, there is no way of auditing/viewing it (that I can see). If I have lights in the basement that go on during the day it would make no sense to have them come in when I'm not home. My old élan system had a separate "Away" mode and you could easily make schedules for that purpose. Unless there is way to control "mockoccupancy" it would seem I should setup some lighting scenes and schedules based on sunset, etc. Randomness would be nice, but not totally necessary.

cdepaola Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 You can choose which lights to use with mocupancy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knowitall Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Mockupancy doesn't require and programming really. once driver is installed you should be able to do everything with HE. Pick rooms/lights/av/etc, make an experience button to start stop recording and one to toggle playback on off when security is armed to away if mocupancy is true playback. It's a great driver imo beats the hell out of the alternative most of us have used for years with number variables schedules and light scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGLI Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 I found the Properties tab, if anyone has a link to the documentation that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prabeau Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just so I get this straight this driver has to be installed it is not integral to HE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGLI Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Correct. My dealer installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just so I get this straight this driver has to be installed it is not integral to HE ! He is a way of viewing and editing the project. Nothing is integral to He. Once mocupancy is added to the project everything else, choosing which lights and if you want to run them at an energy saving 70% and of you want blinds or TV included is by checkbox on the driver properties.

Jeffrey Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I have mockupancy toggle function bound to button 5 on a 6 button keypad. Red is supposed to be recording, green is active and blue is paused I think. For some reason the colors are not changing on the keypad. Mockupancy is working when I press the buttons because I was messing with it one day and then the following day lights were turning on and off. Anyone know how to get the button to show the correct color? Does it have something to do with following the bound color checkbox? Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gix656 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The LED for that button should be changed to programmed. Then go into programming and add the proper programming to follow the state. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all that had to be done was the mockupancy toggle be bound to a button. I didn't think any type of custom programming was involved. At least that is how the mockupancy directions make it sound. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gix656 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Under the keypad properties you have to change the LED of that button to follow programming. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
