Temperature
Scenarios can be triggered when the temperature rises above or falls below a certain
level. For this purpose the Light-Manager measures temperature every minute and
triggers scenarios if required. This function is useful to control a fan or electric blinds for
example.
Besides the inside temperature, which is measured by the device itself, also the outside
temperature can be used as control factor. The source for the outside temperature is a
network of weather stations (openweathermap.org), out of which the Light-Manager
selects the station which is closest to the location defined in the astro function settings.
Note:
The temperature sensor is located on the layer board of the device. Therefore it
will heat up slightly after startup, when connecting the Light-Manager to power. This
calefaction is compensated automatically. However during the first 30 minutes the
device will display a lower temperature than there is actually.
The Light-Manager can measure precise temperatures only if it is not exposed to direct
sun light or to another source of heat. Fine tuning can be applied under
Options -> Light-
Manager setup -> Extended settings
