I have built in four actions to turn on/off my garage light.
-
During the daytime when the daytime light is below a certain level and the garage door opens the garage light will turn on. (I have included motion sensors also in here, the motion sensors work and turn the garage light on.)
-
When the garage door opens after sunset and before sunrise the garage light will turn on. (I have included motion sensors also in here, the motion sensors work and turn the garage light on.)
-
When the house door for the garage door opens and 1. the light is off 2. it is below a certain brightness the garage light will turn on
-
When no motion is detected for 10 minutes or the brightness is above a certain level the garage light will turn off.
The garage door opening does not work with #1 and #2.
