7.4 Triggers
Triggers are one of the most powerful features of the zControl. Setting up triggers allows changes in a motion/oc-
cupancy sensor’s state to “trigger” many of the zControl’s other functions. For example, a light can be set to turn
on whenever motion/occupancy is detected in the room. To set up a trigger, you’ll need to
focus
on a motion/occu-
pancy sensor through the device listing. A pane will appear with two
Rules
listed. It looks like this:
To edit a
Rule
, turn on

and click on it. A
Rule
consists of two parts:
The first part is the trigger. A motion/occupancy sensor has two possible states, “motion/occupancy detected
1.
and “no motion/occupancy detected.” Each of these states can act as a trigger
The second part is the triggered behavior. A triggered behavior is a

If you want motion/occupancy in a room to trigger both the light turning on and the blinds opening, for

. For example, if you’ve created one

turns on a lamp and is

whenever motion/occupancy is detected, you may also want to create another
Scene
that turns off the lamp and is
Run
whenever no motion/occupancy is detected
Whenever the motion/occupancy sensor reports motion/occupancy, the first
Rule
is triggered and the associated
Scene
is
Run
. Whenever the sensor reports no motion/occupancy, the second
Rule
is triggered and the associated
Scene
is
Run
