Some scene ideas
Some scene ideas
Scenes are used to group the actions of your devices that you can activate into a single action from Neviweb depending on the time of day or based on events.
Scenes for different activities
If you have a home gym, dim the lights and lower the temperature during your workout for greater comfort.
Scenes for different types of absence
If you are going on holiday for several days, assign instructions to your devices to reduce your energy consumption.
For example, lower the thermostat setting and turn off the water heater to reduce your electricity consumption.
Note: For scenes related to extended absences, be sure to disable time automations (for Zigbee devices) or put your devices in manual mode (for Wi-Fi and Mi-Wi devices).
Otherwise, the automations and schedules will resume at the next event encountered, thus canceling the instructions assigned by the scene.
Scenes from everyday life
If your wake-up or bedtime varies significantly each day, you may want to create a scene that will allow you to get ahead of the instructions set in your time automations (Zigbee devices) or in your schedules (Wi-Fi and Mi-Wi devices).
This will allow you to activate the scene at the time that suits you best.
Scenes to create custom atmospheres
Movie nights or dinners with friends are good examples, since they require appropriate lighting and temperature.
Creating the right atmosphere is an art. You just need to activate the right scene to wow the crowd.
Scenes throughout the seasons
Scenes related to seasons are particularly useful for places that are only used occasionally, such as cottages. This allows you to set a target temperature for appliances during the winter or turn off all thermostats in the summer.
However, make sure that your time automations are disabled (for Zigbee devices) or that the devices are in manual mode (for Wi-Fi and Mi-Wi devices).
Otherwise, the scene will be automatically deactivated by the next instruction encountered in an automation or schedule.
