Garage door sensor trip, light on then off

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting

I think this is probably a basic command but I am new to this system so I need help. I bought a Schlage z-wave window sensor that I will mount to trip when my garage door goes up. When this happens, I want two lights to turn on, then off after five minutes. I figured out how to set up a simple scene with all my lights but can’t figure out how to incorporate the window sensor as a trigger for the scene. Can anyone help? Thanks!

While in the scene, choose the sub-menu called triggers. In there will be a drop-down button to choose what device is the trigger and how.

I am interested in this.

I just got the Schlage Door Sensor. So how would I set this up. Let say if I get the GE 45609 Z-Wave Wireless Lighting Control On/Off Switch.

  1. How do I set up so that it knows when it is tripped or not. I think I have that setup correctly. I setp trigger OPEN = Tripped and CLOSED = Not Tripped

  2. Now how do I link it. If Tripped, turn on light?

You can use the Program Logic Event Generator App to do this, that’s how I’m doing it. I’m also using the Day/Night App with Program Logic Event Generator. I’ve attached a few example screenshots below.

Simple Logic

You need to define the Inputs: Triggers first: Door Triggers Tripped

Then define the Conditions: Door Open

Then define the Actions: Turn light on (via the GUI)

You can have the light shutoff with an extra Condition of LightsOn; NOW > 3:00 this will shut the light off in 3 minutes. You will need to create a LightOn Trigger and Condition and action for this.
