Motion-Controlled Lighting 4.8 – The Next-Level Light Maestro
Welcome to the Smartest, Most Flexible Home Yet
Imagine this: You enter a room, and your lights already know what you want. Morning light awakens gently, evenings wrap you in cozy tones, and motion, lux, sun, and schedule all work in perfect harmony.
Motion-Controlled Lighting 4.8 isn’t just an upgrade – it’s a full rewrite of your favorite automation, now smarter, safer, and more reliable:
Motion – Trigger lights with one or multiple sensors
Optional Switches – Manual override at your fingertips
Lux Awareness – Only turn on when it’s truly dark
Sunrise/Sunset with offsets – Perfect timing, every day
Day & Night Scenes – Set your moods with scenes or individual lights
Dual Fixed Off-Times – Lights always turn off on schedule
Workday Awareness – Weekday/weekend differences built-in
Failsafe Protection – Maximum runtime control for peace of mind
Snapshots – Preserve your preferred light states before activating
Logging – Keep track of every action
…and every feature is fully optional. You set the rhythm. You set the mood.
Example Flows
Morning Glow – Rise and Shine
Weekday, 07:00. Motion triggers your gentle day scene.
If the sun is already up, natural light takes over – no wasted energy.
Daytime Smartness
Sunrise/sunset offsets ensure your lights match the season and daylight. Dual fixed off-times guarantee lights never stay on too long. Want a late evening on weekends? No problem.
Evening Cozy Mode
Motion or a switch sets night mode: soft, relaxing light. Lights fade off after your chosen auto-off durations – calm, not abrupt.
Workday vs Weekend Magic
Workday sensor integration makes your lighting routine-aware: Longer evening scenes on weekends, early shutoff on workdays.
Failsafe Protection
Forgot the lights? Don’t worry. Failsafe ensures lights automatically turn off after the maximum runtime – now more robust and reliable than ever.
