Re: Light level monitoring - to add to Homevision/Comfort

["paul_watkin" <paul.watkin33@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi gary,

I was under the impression that the light level setting on the outdoor PIR
is acttually set at the pot on the unit itself and cannot be manipulated
via the toolkit like 360 degree indoor sensor. The POT settings are shown
on the final page of the instructions

For this reason i have  an external cbus light sensor acting as an enable
for the various PiR's both in and outside the house such that all of them
have a uniform reference point.

I am currently trying to get my head around cbus logic and intend to move
the light sensor to the measurement application and will then run logic on
wiser to give a more refined level of control.

Regards

Paul
